Breaker! Breaker!
New owner of one of those new surplus timing meters (Tech-Time) and it works. Yay! But in testing it today, I put the line clamp on the spot I cleaned over a year ago with the offset at 20* and got 16+ degrees of advance at 2K rpm?
History:
Rented timing meter from Gary, timed IP to 9* after installing rebuilt injectors from Russ and had to leave the old IP on. So old IP, new injectors. Also have a #1 injector line from a 7.3L van and a #4 line from a 7.3L F-Series truck, so no factory pulse adapter. Had much less clatter, but EGT's were higher than they should've been. I suspected the pump was turned up, so I turned out down one flat. Mel said that turning the IP down one flat equals about one degree of timing advance, so I should be at 10*, right?
One more thing. I remember also attempting to time it off of the #4 injector line thinking I wasn't getting a strong pulse from the #1 line. Turned out that there was a short or something in the first magnetic probe that was in the kit (of course Gary was very helpful). I didn't have time today to get a reading from the spot I cleaned on the #4 line. Does timing off the #4 line like the van IDI's cause that much of a difference?
