It's depressing, all the snow hast gone away

Ok now that I had reliable spark, starts great, runs good, I decided to go back to the timing light. I hooked up the light and still got bad readings. nearly 55 deg timing. I'm using a snap-on MT241-a Timing & ignition Advance Light. Now how does the timing light calculate what 1 degree is? The ...

I'm restoring an old 78 SRX I picked up years ago and powering with an 83 vmax540. I'm using the wiring and cdi that came off the vmax. I believe it has T.O.R.S. I don't have anything hooked up except for the 8 wire CDI and the coil . He's the problem, the engine will fire once like a flywheel hit &...
