[TINKA]

Hi Steve, sorry that you are having all these problems. I have reread your past posts and after a close look at the diagrams, I wonder if the new pickup is firring at the wrong time as it is about 22.5 deg out from the old setup? can you remount the pickup so that everything lines up as the old system used to?
The fact that the intensity of the timing light changes depending on the position tells you there is something fundamentally wrong somewhere.The position of the distributor will only change the time of the spark not the intensity.

Hope this helps.

I have recently had loads of problems with my distributor and in the end put an igniter in the fire the coil but also fitted an MSD system and the difference is dramatic, plus I now have a rev limiter. I didn't change the distributor as mechanically there was nothing wrong with it and the MSD was only $195 from Summit.

Good luck Martin :tu :tu :tu :tu :tu
