Sounds like the spark is in the wrong place.

I usually feel slightly superior to those who cannot get the ignition timing sorted.

Top of compression stroke - points just opening - where the rotor arm is becomes No. 1 - and off you go.

Applied this once to a '24 AC which the owner had given up on, and within a couple of minutes we were going for a drive.

Smug, or what?!

So - iI thoughtI would swap distributors to test the spare.   How easy is that?

Took me three goes and the plug leads are now not where they were.

At least one attempt was 180 degrees out.

Dunno why- but it isn't always easy, after all.
