Thanks a lot all of you, a lot of valuable info here! Going to hit the drawing board this week and prep for next weekend when I’ll be back at the garage. Living away from my garage is killing me haha I’ll definitely let you all know what happens after I do all these steps! Thanks again!

First off thanks for the time guys! @5twins @Jim the photos I took of the points plate maxed out in both directions was me static timing it with a test bulb and slowly rotating the crank by hand with plugs removed (started to static time after the dynamic time went south) Making sure that I pull...
