no problem stuart!!!!
hotrod lincoln you have the timing thing down to a science! the timing does retard a bit when i hit the throttle hard, i thought that was odd and if i just ease on the throttle the dist advances. its pretty cool how that works.
now my 261 runs sweet, just rebuilt, i rebuilt the carb myself, although it was working great with the old 235 engine, my only problem at this point is that when its cold and i choke the carb, it will start easy and start to rev then quikly start stammering and the rpm come down till i open the choke and give it some gas to bring up the idle.
this is not right i know cause when this carb was on my 235, when i started it it would rev up nice and not stammer and bog down, soo i am lost, it worked great on the wore out 235 and sucky on this new 261...
