I've been down on power since the new distributor and have been playing with the timing. I tried one tooth forward and back and it would hardly run so I'm on the right tooth. I've marked it and been slowly rotating the distributor clockwise (advance?) I've got most of the power back that I had, my question is when do I stop? I still have a ways left in the groove for more movement. Can I put in too much advance? Will I hurt anything. It just seems to get better with more clockwise movement.
I tried counterclockwise and it got worse, the lack of power felt strange, like it was being choked, like it couldn't get air, or like I was climbing a long hill with a 4 cylinder lol.
This is the first vehicle that I've been able to do this kind of fine tuning with, it's very fun I just don't want to over do it.
Thanks
