no advance
Recently got a code 212, distributer timing not changing. So I hooked up the timing light and revved the engine and sure enough the timing stays at 8-12 degrees throughout the rpm range. 212 is the only koeo code i got. while i have no koer codes at all. You guys think it's a computer problem or distributor? i tried clearing the codes and disconnecting the battery overnight, but no change.

once i pulled the spout, the timing sits at 10 degrees exactly, so i have been driving around without the spout in. no codes, and no power either. but at least it's not hesitating and sputtering right now.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.... but if you're trying to check for advance with the spout jumper out, it just ain't gonna happen. By pulling the jumper you're removing computer control of the timing, and reverting to a single base timing default. It being a electronically controlled advance (computer) versus having a vacuum advance.
Now I could've just gone through all that and you've already known that, but did you check the timing with the spout in looking for advance? If so, then I'd go with Billman's suggestion of the ICM.
My .2 cents.
