GrahamPaige29 15 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Hi guys. I finally got my 1929G Graham Paige model 612 running thanks to a carb rebuild. But now I'm having some other issues with what I can only assume is the timing. I bought a timing light and hooked the inductor to number 1 spark plug. When the car was idling away, the timing spot on my flywheel marked "SP FA" which I assume is "spark, full advance" was lit up by multiple flashes from the timing gun. I made a video that shows the car idling and a close up of the timing mark lit up on the flywheel. If you look near the end of the video, the mark (highlighted by a piece of green masking tape) is wandering all over the place. I don't get it. Is my timing gun flashing multiple times and at the wrong moments or is the timing actually "off". I assume the timing is off because I'm getting a lot of shaking of the car and funny burping/almost backfiring noises. Here's a link to the video that shows the issue... https://youtu.be/rVflB9d_9Qc I'm wondering if it's an issue with the centrifugal advance on the distributer going wrong. I can't figure out what else it could be. No matter how carefully I adjust the distributer head back and forth, the light continues to dance around the mark flashing multiple times. You guys ever experienced this? Should I pull the distributor and try to rebuild it again or is that not the issue? Thanks for you help and remember, I'm a newbie!
