Default Re: Can't get the idle right

Does the arm of the distributor top plate make contact with both sides of gap (opening) in the distributor body when moving the advance rod from fully retarded to fully advanced? If not, your timing and idle will not be correct . The fix is to rotate the steering column to get the correct throw. Search this forum for the "Les Andrews timing video". It will give you step by step instruction for this fix.
