Sounds like the mechanical advance in the distributor, pull the plate out and check the springs.

Confirmed that the mechanical advance was not working. The timing never changed as I increased the engine speed and there was no movement of the rotor after taking the distributor cap off. Thanks for everyone’s help. I'll post results after replacing or fixing the distributor.

![]() You will probably have a hard time finding advance parts. Most guys have been replacing the distributor.

Right, but by buying an old used points distributor you could easily run into the same problem with the worn/rusted springs. I'd rather pay a few more bucks and have a brand new dizzy.
j.mccreight, may I ask why you needed adjustability? |

j.mccreight's ebay link was for a new Prestolite points distributor.
