| With that you could possibly have a bad diaphragm in the vacuum advance. If the spark plug boots are damaged then you probably should replace the wires. If the wires are the least bit damaged then you should definately replace them. I have to say I learned something from this post. I just checked out my Chilton manual and it tells me that in 1975 (on passenger cars) the timing is to be set at 6-8 degrees BTDC. But in 1973 (which is where I must have gotten my previous info) the 350 was suggested at 10 degrees BTDC. Oh well, I guess it helps to go back to the book once in awhile and not rely on whats in my head. LOL. I figure the change could be attributed to the fact that 1973 was the last of the higher compression engines in the early 70's.
