i think i found some problems dist bushings are nice and tight no movement, but i found something. i had put a dist advance kit in before putting the engine in and had used the med springs. i thing they are too light as when i took the rotor off the weights were stuck out at about 1/2 way.
i put the heavier springs in it and now just timed by ear tonight, seems to sound better but will have to take on road to see if helped. also oiled up the weiths bushings a little as appeared dry.
