Is the mechanical advance on the "new" dist working > freely? Any chance the throttle cable is just hanging up on something? Replaced an AH with an AB. Timed to TDC at 900 RPM and 45 deg. dwell. Car is stock 70 FI, MT and had an AH dist. that started flctuating on dwell, so I replaced it then with what I could find, an AH which is for an auto tranny, ran fine but the advance curve was mismatched to the manual tranny, flat and slow. the "new" AB tests solid on the dwell meter. I had to hammer it in, the last 1/2", on the drive shaft with a block of wood in between. could that have dislodged something? I'll check the throttle cable today. many thanks for your thoughts hisham ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
