Hehe, ok maybe I forgot to mention a few minor details...

I just bought the car a few months ago. I want to get into car restoration and figured this was the car to get. (1500 bucks seemed pretty good for what I got) I am 19 years old and know as much about cars as I do nuclear physics and brain surgery [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] (nut much)

I do have a timing light. I know what TDC stands for but what it means is a different thing [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Dwell? Points? I am lost there. Perhaps I stepped in further than I thought.

I know how to hook up a timing light. (woo hoo!)

Ok, now that you all know the eery details, lets see what I have assuming my points are set properly.

1. Remove vacuum advance on distributer and plug the line at the carb to make sure there isnt a vacuum leak

2. Hook up timing light to # 6 cylinder

3. Check to see where the line on the timing wheel thingamajob lines up. Hopefully the 9 degree mark.

3a. If not at the 9 degree mark, loosen dist bolt slightly and rotate dist to advance or retard timing to 9 degree.

4. once set to 9 degrees, reconnect vac line and I am ready to go.


Now, points? dwell? Little help?

Thanks for your help and patience!
