    Is it possible that one of the coil pick ups inside the dizzy is playing up.

    My motor although runs all the time has a tendacie to run rough everyso often.

    Ive been told to replace the dizzy, and thats the only reason i can think of.

    Try a different dizzy.
    Insert witty comment here....

    basically, if your engine was running at the same rpm and under the same load all the time. then you could just set the ignition timing and be done with it. but car engins load/revs change heaps so the ingition timing has to be adjusted. more load/revs = need advanced timing.

    now for vacume advance, if you have vacume advance, then there will be a vacume line on your dizzy, which is attached to your intake somewhere. so when the engine revs/loads up vacume is created and is fed to your dizzy. the vacume pulls the inside of your dizzy around, and advances the timing.

    its hard to explain, but if you have vac advance, pull off your dizzy cap, pull off that hose and suck on it and you'll see the insides of your dizzy rotating around. its pretty much the same as adjusting your timing except that it its contunally chaning.. and it springs back to normal with no vacume.

    newer cars use an electronic advance, which i have no idea about, but i think it has somethign to do with a crankangle sensor and its all controlled by computer's

    sorry if thats a little dumbed down, im not sure how much you know about this stuff

    hope this helps

    ohh and another thing

    i was working on my STUPID 4KC today (see my thread in tech Q's) and i advanced my timing waaaaayyy too much, and managed to get what you have, i got the engine to spin the wrong way on cranking (only slightly) was cool to see thats for sure!
