engine kicks back while starting
everytime i think i fixed this problem it comes back. I've replaced the starter, bought shims, set the timing, i dont know whats left. The shim i used was 60 thousandths. It seemed to crank fine up until i took the distributor cap off to see if it was in time. somebody help me out, thanx

tempest has it nailed, the only thing I know that causes kick back is the timing being way too far advanced. I bet it cranks real hard too.
