Re: timing

[john althaus <althausjbl@xxxxxxx>]

Don's correct on the if it jumped it wouldn't run at all, I had a 318  in a 
70's van (long hair and all) that jumped twice before I could get it fixed,  we 
just cranked more distributor in it, crossed our fingers and lit it off, way  
down on power but saved the tow charge.

if it was off a tooth it wouldnt rn at all.      I beg your pardon but it 
most vertainly will . it iwll just require a lot of  distributor advance to run.  
We often brought cars with jumped timing  chains to the shop by advancing the 
timing. That was before you had to worry  about bending a valve.  Big 
amaercan V8s.  Saveda tow call and we  were ucky. One tooth is about 12 degress i 
think. I used to knw because i  measured it once. Aftermarket dampner? I ALWAYS 
SUSPECT trouble with  aftermarket parts. Why do you not remark it. it takes 
only a few minutes to  doso. then you know for sure
