Also is you are running a 009 distributor, you need to set the timing @ 28
degrees at 3000 rpm which will give you 12 degrees advance at idle. Or bring it
to me and I will take a look at it.

If it is running fine why mess with it before a long trip?
.006
My engle says .004
.008 is too much I think, rattles.
You can only set NEW points to .015, old points must be set with a
dwell meter 48 degrees max (I think)
If it is running good DRIVE it down and Mark and I will tune it.
For Mark and I tuning IS fun!
I think I will do mine there too!
