I pulled the distributor on my 1965 327/300 to replace the tach gear. The engine ran fine before I did this. The distributor does not have points but has a electronic conversion (one wire).
I put the engine to TDC aimed at plug one on the distributor cap and dropped it in. The engine started but under way there is little power I tried retarding and advancing . Engine still runs poor regardless.
I pulled the distributor again with similar results (slightly better power ...but still not right)
QUESTION...
Can the engine be running and be off by just a tooth on the distributor ? ....and cause this poor performance? With the timing light the marks seem to be just about where they used to be.
My next step is to pull out the distributor again and repeat and repeat until I get it
I may install a new cap and rotor but don't see how that could help since everything ran well before! On the bright side ... my tach now works ...LOL
....ANY IDEAS ?????
