so many people have complained about the cadillac hei distributers having too much advance that i have gone to the chevy distributer and cut it down to fit the cadillac engines. i had so many problems with mine as well from a 76 cadillac 500. it was so hard to time. i suffered greatly until i replaced the unit.
