Another timing question
Will changing the cap, rotor, and coil (OEM coil, not one of those 50K volt jobs) change my timing or affect the car with the timing being off?

My timing is at 33* @ 750 with no advacne

Makes no difference, in more ways than one.

Just make sure you check the timing after you put the parts on. It only takes a moment.
