Pamco - How does my timing look?

[OakBehringer]

Just put a PAMCO in my '81. Looks a little retarded at idle, but methinks the advance is good? IIRC, advance is the left slide of the drain slot on the late models.

I know the angle isn't that great, but holding a camera, timing light, and blipping the throttle at the same time is kinda hard.

Thanks!

Looks fine to me. On my 79, it has a line which represents full advance.

Oak,

Looks OK to me as well. That jittering you see could be because you have the timing light clamped to the positive plug wire. Try the other plug wire.

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure my memory was correct about the advance line. It's 100+ every day out here, don't want my engine any hotter than it needs to be

p.s. Didn't know that about the jittering. Thanks!

Oak,

Forgot to ask. Which PAMCO do you have?

Mechanical advance.
