One last note. About timing. I've always used an ohm meter on hot rods, race cars and family sedans. Regardless of point gap, dwell, worn distributor or whatever. The moment those points open the coil discharges and we have fire. I've checked this a couple of times. Now I'll ask a dumb newbie question. Could the cam gear somehow be off? Is there another easy way to check for TDC?
