With an ignition that's owner adjustable, such as a points ignition or a Dyna-S electronic ignition, the ignition backing plate would be expected to have slotted holes to allow for adjustment of timing by the owner.
The ignition pictured by SWest is, i believe, a Dyna-S electronic ignition (which perhaps replaced an original points ignition) and has a slotted backing plate which allows owner adjustment.
The ignition at hand might or might not allow for owner adjustment of the timing.
What ignition is the ignition at hand? Points? Dyna-S? Stock igniter style?
Good Fortune!

At 1:42 you mention "tightening the springs on the spark advance...walking back and forth."
The Dyna 2000 ignition system replaced the factory spring/weight mechanical advance on my engine. Same with yours?
That "walking back and forth" is likely happening because the adjustable pickups (on the adj. plate) are slightly out of sync to one another. Shouldn't the timing between 1/4 and 2/3 be dead-on identical? :whistle:

Your Dyna ignition has springs?
