Re: Timing Problem!

[65 <65Val@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok. I know this is a stupid question, but, are you sure your pulling your 
spark signal off of the correct (#1) plug wire? (Don't ask me why I ask 
this!)

Is this a fresh engine, or did it just start doing it recently?

If thats not it, could the keyway on the damper be machined in the wrong 
place, changing the position of the TDC mark?

Just my thoughts.....
