Hi all, Well I recently changed the pickup sensor in my 95 cobra due to some stalling issues. Well after i fixed that issue i put the distributor bac kon and set it at factory 10deg. well it runs fine from idle up to 3500rpm or so, and then it seems to sound like its spartnocking it only does this when you get down on it and get it in a load. It doesnt do it when your just setting there and rev it up (i only run 93oct.) So i advanced the timeing to 13deg...same deal going on. I cant seem to figure it out. Anyone have any thoughts?

Is the distributor rotated 180 degrees incorrectly? I don't know if it'd make that small of a difference, but maybe.

Sounds like no big deal to me... Just pull a degree or two out until it stops... 10 degrees is a guideline that has some leeway... You could always put a colder plug in too...

Are you sure your balancer didn't move on ya? That can make ya think your at 10 degrees but you may not be...
