[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 623488, member: 20098"] Check the timing with a strobe gun on full advance. Whilst you have set the base advance, there’s no guarantee that the timing is correct at full advance - and you will certainly be at full advance when going uphill with foot to the floor. You may find that you’re quite far from the optimum (28-32 degrees With vac plugged, assuming a standard distributor). I’ve certainly had experience with aftermarket distributors that don’t drop to the standard base advance figures when setting max advance and there are no obvious symptoms at idle that the advance is out of spec.
