On the 235 .016 used and .019 new. Here is a link to Classic chevy, where I got mine. This link is for a 42-46 years, http://www.classicautopartsgroup.co...&action=detail&item=PBK-440-4246Never can have too much info.

The rubbing block will wear, and they will get closer which in turn retards the timing. If you set it at .022 you can forget about it for quite a while. Be sure to put a little grease on the rubbing block, but be careful not to get any on the contacts. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 92 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 92 | Thank you all.. the truck is running MUCH better now! | | |
