[QUOTE="Tango-Charlie, post: 94455, member: 13263"] Today I finished a conversion from points, condenser, removing the old coil, distributor cap, rotor, and plugs to the Petronix Electronic Ignition Module with the Flame Thrower Coil. I also removed the old ceramic resistor during the conversion. The engine was running before I started the process but was obviously in need of a tune up. Before starting I lined up the timing mark on the crank pulley to 0 degrees TDC put a little white out on the marks and removed the distributor cap and ensured the rotor was pointing right at the #1 distributor cap contact. After removing the points etc. and removing the ceramic resistor I installed the new Petronix module and coil. After checking all the wiring three times I fired it up. WOW it immediately fired up and ran very smooth. I took it out of the garage and drove it to warm it up before checking the timing. I pulled it back into the garage and shut it down and hooked up the timing light to #1 cylinder. I again started it, which I think it only turned over twice before starting. It ran smooth and I throttled it back to a slow idle and removed the vacuum line to check the timing. Again the engine was running really smooth. I turned on the timing light and couldn't see the white marks anywhere near the timing cover BTDC marks. I loosened the distributor and moved the distributor but the marks still would not appear near the timing marks on the timing belt cover. But while moving the distributor I could tell it was changing because it would start running rougher. I set it where the engine was running the smoothest. My question is why can't I get it timed with the timing light with the marks I made before installing the new electronic module? Any advise would be appreciated.
