car wont idle

[Nate_dogg]

My car wont idle at 5 deg btdc it will idle slow spudder and die. If I change timing
around 15 deg btdc it will idle fine. I have tried to adjust idle at 5 deg with no help.

Thanks

Do you have a jumper wire going from the ignition timing adjustment terminal to ground?

Like DanThMan1983 said you must have the jumper wire running from the plug on the firewall to a good ground in order to read or set your timing. Detailed instructions to do this can be found here http://www.plymouthlaser.com/timin.htm
