Well just a quick update. After a resetting the valve lash with the engine hot, re-gapping the plugs (which for some reason I had gapped at .020) now at .040, and checking the point gap the engine runs a little better. Maybe even good but it is a little hard to tell without an exhaust. Maybe tomorrow. Had a little trouble with stop leak plugging up the rad (see other thread) but all is well now I believe. Havent actually set the timing with a light yet but will once I get an exhaust on. Thanks for all the help so far.
