Still need to do a vacuum test and plethora of other small things, just in time to park it for the winter. Found the cause of an annoying rumble on acceleration, the exhaust pipe was hitting the rear crossmember. Turns out it was a common problem and that there an was an aftermarket fix for it. Nine bucks on fleabay.
Looking at snow for Wednesday, and that means salt. Guess I will just wash and wax all the vehicles tomorrow and call it good. |
I think .016in points gap would get you very close to the proper dwell angle. Make sure the spring is still stiff. They can bounce in the upper rpm range and cause a miss.
