Hello all. Got the advance components from mikesxs to convert my 1983 over to the original Pamco system. Thought the install went pretty straight forward and it started up second kick or so but died and would not restart.
Investigation lead me to the auto advance plate was able to float off the locating pin on the camshaft as it seems to have 1/8"-3/16" play even thought I used a steel punch to tighten up the retaining nut. Slip back over the pin and it will start but die once it slips back off the camshaft pin.
Since then I've had it off a couple time, checking all three locating pins, tightening the nut to the point of chewed it quite a bit. Seems like the backplate or nut is too thin or I need a shim and was curious if anyone had thoughts.
