I was working on my 2.25 SIII timing today. I first static timed it w/ my ohmmeter. set distributor to fire on #1 cyl, set mark on pulley at 6deg BTDC (run mid range fuel about 90 oct), turned ign switch on and rotated distributor until multimeter sounded (can also see points spark w/ lights off).
I then fired up the truck and checked the timing w/ induction timing light.
It was at about 2deg BTDC. I reved it up and let it settle down a few times and it does not always level out at the same timing and it takes a while to settle out. It can change by about 6deg.
Is this normal or is there something else possibly going on, seems to run better except for a very lttle run on when I shut if off.
