fellow listers,
i am proud to announce that she fired up today! many of you provided
advice yesterday surrounding the timing. well, you were right! after
pulling the distributor worm gear and insuring i was at 4* atdc, i
re-installed the gear in the proper position and away she goes!
i'd also like to acknowledge the help of mike cline, eric conrad, and
bud rolofson. they have spent considerable time at my house in the past few
weeks helping diagnose the problem. eric re-assembled my carbs yesterday
and mounted them and mike steered me to the bentley's today which turned
out to be the clincher. bud would get even more credit but he put his
answering machine on after my first phone call today. at least i kept my
samoa cookies!
thanks again to all of you for your advice and support. today was a
good day.
