Hi all, just wanted to thank everybody again for all the advice and parts you've provided with getting this old 235 running.
I think I've got it as good as I can for now. I'm sure the valves need adjustment but from what I've read I won't be able to get that done until I get it on the road, run it till it gets nice and hot.
I've got the idle set to just under 500 RPM and dwell is about 34. The points are NOS Delco and I'm thinking the new felt will wear some at the pivot shaft, making them tighten up a little and increasing the dwell. Most posts I've read seem to recommend 38'ish on the dwell. Also, it's timed so that the ball on the flywheel lands on the pointer at idle.
Here is a short video of the truck running...I borrowed a friends phone that takes a lot better video then mine. This one is pretty clear, but the sound kinda stinks at times.
