Yes. I typed it on my phone and sent without checking, what the heck, it was a short message!
Once you get this sorted I'm going to guess it will be like a new boat to you.
Thanks

I am sure your guy with the distributor machine will considering he has been at it for so long, but never hurts to ask . When he puts the curve in it needs to be a marine version curve , there is a slight difference how the timing comes in between auto and marine loading.

If they were both frozen there should be a very noticeable difference getting on plane.

Just curious how did your sync gage react to that ?
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
