Re: Wierd timing problem on 327 SBC

You nailed it , Eugene.  I put the engine at TDC and removed the dist. cap 
and yep, the rotor is pointing at the #8 cylinder at about 8 deg. BTDC.  I

put the inductor clamp on the #8 wire and sure enough I can now see the 
timing marks.  What impact will it have if I just leave the distributor as

it currently?   My engine has always run rich even when I lean back on the

carb. Would the timing have anything to do with this?
      Thanks for your info.
