Have 1976? 85 hp Chrysler. Replaced distributor, double checked point gap, double checked t.d.c. on cyl. 1 and on flywheel, double checked all wiring, everything good to go...... O.K. here is the mystery I'm having. Start the motor ( Starts great and runs very good) Hook the timing light up to cyl. 1 spark plug, point at flywheel, t.d.c. is at 2:00 o'clock on the flywheel, considering the pointer is at 6:00 o'clock where the t.d.c. mark should be. Have double checked the distibutor, rotor, spark plugs, spark gap, point gap, all required mechanical checks to figure out why this is happening. 2nd addition to problem. When the throttle is increased the t.d.c. mark is now close to the pointer but still before pointer.????? This makes no sense because the motor runs good, no backfire, no pinging, no signs of timing way off. This has got me stumped. Any gooroos out there have any help or suggestions for this "Twilight-Zone" situation. We've tried everything and still are stumped.
