Can’t set ignition timing correctly

I’m having trouble setting the timing correctly. I’ll set the left cylinder perfectly, lock it down, then check it again. Still dead on. I set the right with the same process. Get it perfect, lock it, and check it. When I get the right cylinder timed perfectly, the left cylinder timing changes.

I have a CMC electronic ignition.

I’ve adjusted the cam tensioner. I’ve tried cleaning, lubricating, and tightening the springs on the mechanical advance.

What else could cause my issue?

I don't understand....IF you have set the left pickup and set the plate position and locked the plate down, how can the left timing change?

I have the CMC data and assembly sheets....Phone me ************

Phone me..... I'll NEED to know if you have a ND or a TEC advance unit (312 or 369 stamped into baseplate) and ND or TEC points plate (just as reference, I know we are doing the shockwave system)
