Hello All,
I have a 427 fe with a MSD 6Al and MSD dist.
I am trying to check my advance but the timing is indicating 12 degrees from my inital 17 degrees when I rev the motor.
I contacted MSd and they said to try the following:
Different timing light with out dial back
move the mag-pickup wires away from other wires
try using another battery source to power the timing light.
I have tried all of these and the result is the same. I would like to know from those of you that have a MSD 6a or 6AL if you rev your motor and hold it at 3000 rpm do you see you timing advance and stay there?
Or do you know what might be the problem in my situation.
The dist. is not locked out and has 2 light silver springs with a blue bushing. Also I am not running any retard box or anything else.
Thanks
