I've written it up numerous times. You could also send me a private message and I'll share a phone number and try to walk you through the procedure. I'm a little tired of explaining it repeatedly with a keyboard!

Always start with the basics first when one obtains a new/old vehicle. Dont take for granted point gap, spark plugs/valve adjustment and ignition timing, do the easy non invasive things first then ramp up your diagnostics after that.
