We are discussing moving (variable) cam timing in a RUNNING SBC engine by way of a chain tensioning device. If the tensioner advances the cam, this will advance the ignition timing too because they are geared together. Unless you have an idea for a variable distributor housing positioner that will counteract the variable timing chain tensioner, the timing IS going to change.
