With points ignition each set had to be set the same and exactly 180 degrees out with the same dwell. Any variation would give an uneven idle. Add high mileage to the equation and the advance springs stretch and the weights move more erratically. The same holds true with add on electronic ignitions which also added a few degrees variation in that type of sensors. All of this makes idle almost always uneven causing the belts to bounce around a bit. Toss in the fact that the carbs are also older and worn and most are not fully adjusted an even idle is nearly impossible. So cam wobble was the blame for all the worn mis adjusted parts. They must be wobbling look at the belts! :smilie_happy:  :smilie_happy:  :nea:  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />oh2:</p></blockquote><p></p>
