What can cause your HEI timing to jump back and forth on its own while trying to set timing with light?

Setting the timing on the newer computer controlled ignition systems can often require a little more research before you start. Often there is a jumper or some other procedure that you have to mess with to change the timing. You'll need to do a little research on your particular vehicle/ignition system to figure out how to do it, but in general, it's not terribly difficult... if that's even the issue with yours. worn out gear on the end of the distributor shaft, excessive end play in distributor shaft, advance springs missing or too weak, worn bushings in advance weights, bad timing chain and/or gears.
