Timing jumping???

I converted My TBI to Carb Holley S/A 770 and used the Vac advance dist. from Proform. When I put the timing light on the tab (with the vac. line pulled) the timing line will jump from 12* to 6* and back and forth. I used my light on another car and it was fine. What would cause this??? Could I have a defective module????


Thanks

No it idles fine and there is no change when It does it. It will do it at idle and when I put a little RPM to it. Its all new thats the problem I just can't figure it out. I did use the light on another car and it worked fine there. Think about it and see what you can come up with.


Thanks
Brian
