Well I wish I could get some quality video but unfortunately just doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, I can’t focus on the mark and timing light makes visibility difficult …but I did swap one of them again and the new ICM from A/R is definitely moving clockwise. Tomorrow I’ll be putting the OME one back in and I suspect I’ll see that one move CCW…has anyone seen this before? Also noticed that when making the ICM swap… at idle there is an instant 5 degree of retard (clockwise shift) when compared to the OME.

No. Something is definitely goofy. Happy to chat about it by phone, so PM me if you want to talk.

Thankfully got a video that shows my timing mark moving clock wise...this only happens with my new ICM from supplier. With the OME ICM car runs great and to be honest I think its never ran better, very happy with the results of all the adjustments...big thanks to you all for helping out.

For reference the timing mark is idling around the 5 degree marker
