Subject:Re: 81 CA van, trouble setting the timing(automatic)

With the idle stabilizer bypassed the timing is
advanced to 30+ , RPM is around 2000, when I try to
lower the timing by turning the distrubtor the RPM
falls too low before the timing gets back to the
correct setting, the engine dies at about 15 degees
BTDC, cannot get to 5 degrees ATDC which is what it is
supposed to be set to at 900-1000 RPM. I am having
trouble with the RPM staying up so I can bring the
timing back. Why?? It's got to be something simple,
what am I missing..  Phil
