Default Ignition timing
1947 59A standard ignition
Looking down on the distributor sitting on my bench. The vacuum brake is at the top.
The right ignition point gauges at about .015. Which is in spec.
The left one, however, gauges at .009 or a little less.
What effect does the smaller gap have, if any, on the timing?
What effect does the smaller gap have, if any, on anything else?
