Really rough though and lite popping sound out the muffler. I didn't want to mess with it anymore until I got some advice first ðŸ˜‰ https://photos.app.goo.gl/6ewQZZZjPG9zDc7o9 Video of it running... TDC is top dead center. How can it also be 5-10 retarded? 1952 5-window - return to "as built" condition \| 1950 3100 with a 235 and a T-5 transmission
