Distributor advance

[Old Dog]

No question here, but thought someone might benifit from this.

My jeep didn't seem to have the pep it should, so I did a tune up and checked the timing. I noticed my total advance was no where near what it should be. Started checking things and found the bushings in my advance weights were all egged out (not a round hole anymore). So I got a new bushing & weight kit ($8).
Got it back together a couple days ago and she runs like new again.

Good info. It's surely time for me to do the same.

to tell the truth not really, but I did take a before pic so I couldn't put it back together wrong. I just took some of the old wornout weights (hard to see just how egg shaped the hole really is) and the kit with both old weights and whats left of the new parts I didn't use so here you go.
