Good morning! Hope everyone is well! I just wanted to come on the forum and give a quick update. We are in contact with Jerry, (HotRodLincoln), who lives in Tennessee not too far from us. He has agreed to pay us a visit sometime in the near future. In the meantime, we are reading emails and different posts on this forum, Chevy manuals, how-to books, and watching yet more YouTube videos to educate ourselves. Jerry has agreed to a phone call sometime this weekend so he can walk us through checking for proper placement of the distributor and expand on the valve adjustments.

I am learning patience in this process, which is not one of my virtues, I admit. I get excited and just want to make things happen! Sometimes this is good, as in nursing, but I can see it is not always the best approach when dealing with these engines. So, I'm willing to "chill" "step back" "cool my jets" "take baby steps" "hold my horses", etc., for a while and take it S-L-O-W! LOL

I will video us performing the checks Jerry recommends for our YouTube channel and will post the link on this forum. Looking forward to getting one step closer to hearing her crank for the first time in ??? years! Just want to say thanks again for everyone's contributions on this forum! We read every one of them and also visit links you provide for us!

Hope everyone stays well and has a great Friday & weekend!
