"Also, if the end play between the housing and gear is excessive, and depending on how the distributor
has been set in the motor, you end up with somewhat erratic timing settings or an unstable timing curve"
Lets make sure I`m doing this right..timing light set to 12 degrees. Looking at the pointer
in the bell housing. I turn the DIST till the white bubble lines up with the pointer?


I believe some of this is going on. I don`t think it is excessive.
I`ll try and find what the engine likes by starting lower than I have before. At one point high and low, the engine will sputter if
I go too far either way.
Right now there is no labor knock. 65mph on flat ground is pretty good?
