Hi there, I have recently gotten my Bradley GT2 to run again... sort of I have narrowed it down to a timing issue and need some help, so here we go. The distributor is currently turned as much as it will turn in the counter-clockwise direction, and i need to to go a little more so the car will run correctly, but there is one problem. The spark/vacuum advance is hitting against the fuel pump so it won't turn any more. Not really sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! I think it is a timing issue anyways, i have performed a full tune-up and the car won't stay idling but it runs and drives as long as you play with the throttle when stopped. Help!

1 - Double check firing order make sure you got the right plug wires on the right spark plug.
2 - turn the distributor as far as you can clockwise and rotate the spark plug wires one rotation counter clock wise and retime...
3 - might work otherwise it sounds more like a carb (make sure idle solinoid has power (12v) or rebuild) or vacuum issue...

So I started the car today and it ran and idled well with the choke about half-way closed. Still a timing issue?

Most likely a small vacuum leak. Check your boots (if dual port). Are you timing the engine with a light or just by sound?
