Here's an update for today
Installed my old distributor that I repined last night.
Was having a heck of a time getting her started.
Lost my time. When I finally got her starting rough I was showing 30 degrees advanced.
Took a break,
reset the distributor to about 14 degrees advanced (pertronix)
Started to idle better. Set the rpm to 450. Could only get about 17 inches of vacuum.
So she starts and idles ok, I'm hearing an exhaust sound out the tail pipe I didn't hear before.
So next I'll reset the valves
Then drive her out of the garage to see if there are any other issues.
She's not running as nice as she did before.
But at least I'm not hearing the lower end nock I thought I heard on the side of the road.
Not fun loosing a distributor cap on the freeway going 50mph
Thanks of all the help so far.
I'm sure ill need more help soon.
