Why is timing an issue? I just set up the points, make sure the advance is working and set the tab on zero on the Sun 504 machine. After installation, I advance it all the way on the tab and listen for pinging which I have never heard. If I hear it, I would just throw some premium in the mix rather than retard it. Maybe I am tone deaf to it? Runs great on either distributor I have.
