<VV> Ignition Timing?? Pertronix??

[FrankCB at aol.com]

I'd recommend getting a DIAL-BACK timing  light.  With these you can check 
timing values far beyond the normal base  (idle) setting so you can tell how 
much centrifugal advance and how much  vacuum advance you are getting at any rpm.

I think  now is the time to get a timing light - perhaps carry it with  
you  and see what goes on when the GB runs funny.  Does the engine   
seem hot when this happens?  One other question - are you sure  it  
knocks first, or does the power drop off and then it knocks when  you  
try to maintain speed?  Are both damper doors open (if  present)?  If  
you shut it down and let it cool off, does it run  ok then?
