Ok, I'm not guaranteeing this is the problem, but it sure looks like it. The cam is moving back and forth a little under 1/8 inch. The pictures show what effect this has on the timing change, I'd say it's moving almost 3/8" at the rotor, extended to the cap edge. Next I've gotta find why the cam gear isn't going on further. I think it's the dowel pin. ....Yikes I tried to post pics but I don't know how to resize them to fit.

Weird deal... I tried another timing set I had in the garage [used, but good shape] I have virtually NO movement at the rotor, when cam pushed or pulled. I don't know how it could be the cam sprocket, unless they machined the part that snugs to the cam thicker. They are both Cloyes multi keyed double rollers.
