Bob, Searching the forums after posting I found a response refering to the "second" adjustment nut. Cured the problem and it is now purring like a kitten. Thanks again to all who have responded to my MOPAR questions over the past few weeks.

| Post subject: | pulling my hair out with timing |
If I install the new pertronix unit i can get it to run but the mark is not even on the timing tab. Tried installing it 5 ATDC, 5 BTDC to no avail. Not much adjustability on these distributors compared to my chevelle. I assume the firing order is clockwise. Correct. And what should my idle speed be set at on a 72 variety 225 engine. I have way more time invested trying to get this car running than I would care to admit. I have the firing order as 153624 going clockwise. Is this correct. May checke TDC tomorrow wit a piston stop before I go crazy. Thanks. |

Sounds like the gears in a tooth off...is the rotor pointing at number one when the piston is at TDC and the timing set at TDC? Gearhead |

I've move the distributor forward a tooth and back a tooth without sucess. THis is a used motor that we never heard running. Wondering if timing chain may have jumped a tooth or is stretched. Will verify TDC this morning |

Did you know that there are two adjustments on these distributors? One is accessed from the bottom side of the distributor. Your correct, the firing order is 153624 clockwise. Bob D |

those that want more adjustment on your timing can take the adjuster off a later model distributor. it will give about 110 deg of adjustment. |
