Re: How Important is OMC Ignition Timing?

[RICHARD A. WHITE]

And here it is:

The physical point the the points open is NOT the same as the magnetic decoupling of the points which is actually what you are looking for when using your meters. So with that knowledge I now completely get this stuff. I had assumed from the beginning that once the points opened that was it.. I now know that it not it. Whew!!! AND he stated that the buzz box you folks mentioned is FAR superior for finding that exact point. A normal multi-meter, no matter HOW expensive, can’t show you the magnetic decoupling point, only the location at which the points are no longer in contact with each other.
I think I just got a bit smarter…..
