Hi this may be a second post since I have benn using the old Web link, but I went to adjust the timing on my 292 Yesterday
As soon as I begin to rotate the distributor a fraction in either direction the Engine cuts off. ? Could there something grounding out inside the Distributor. I had just adjusted the points and the car starts instantly and idles well. I'll pop the cap and check the connections BTW I see that the timing was set at 30* BTDC
"It was'nt me" !
