Hello all,

Could someone please tell me the correct gappage for the points and plugs on 
my 1953 235 ci. (the one with hydrolic lifters)?
I currently have the plugs at .040if an inch, and the points at .018".  I am 
getting no noticeable fire on the #1 cylinder. If I pull the plug wire almost 
all the way off, the plug suddenly comes to life and the engine smooths out.  
The #1 cylinder is getting some major smoke as well.  I cleaned the Plug in 
question and re gapped and to no avail, I still get a slight skip...unless 
the arc is jumping the area between the plug and wire???  I appreciate it.  
It looks like the 6 cyl is slowly dieing.  (Any one know of a good, resonable 
rebuilder in the N.W. Ga. / Chattanooga Tn. area?
Thanks,
Casey
