Default Re: F1-missing

This was a timing issue. This was before I timed it with a light. It was advanced way too far.

I was going through the tune up stuff as this car would barely run. I did not realize how bad it was until I started to go through it.
Before I put it on the light, I tried to set it by ear with a Vacuum gauge. I put the distributor where the PO had it.

What I did not realize is how tinny it sounded. As I retarded it with a light, setting it to the correct position, the RPMs dropped, the sound changed from the tinny sound in the video do a deep steady rumble with no miss.

Here it is missing at idle.
