Until the CD with the shop manual shows up...is this correct for my points?
"Point gap is .015 used, .019 new points"
I found it on a post about the 235, but prolly the same for a 292...right? This is a new set.
Thanks

Now I have set the timing with the 4 to the left of 0. Seems to have less surging in third there.
Please let me know if I am wrong somewhere. Thanks!
