Timing Light Trouble-PLEASE HELP!
I just put in a new condensor and points.
I set the point gap at .016" for my v-8 239 flathead
Trouble is when I check the timing, the mark moves to the left and right of the pointer when I change the rpm. It moves about 1" to the right at 1500 rpm
at 550 rpm, its at the mark
whats going on??
I thought it should stay the same no matter the rpm
what am i doing wrong, or worse yet whats wrong with thte truck?
Thanks
