Re: [Chrysler300] timing issue

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Billlllll -

BE SURE to remove the line from the distributor's vacuum advance and plug it
before setting the timing. It took me four months to realize that the timing
on my 58 Ply was waaaaay off because I was checking it with the vacuum line
connected.

Let us know how you make out.
