Brought the car over to Dr. Mike this afternoon.

Compression check showed all cylinders at 160-165.
Found Distributor wasn't tight, re-checked the timing.
Still Couldn't get a smooth idle.
Checked the rotor;  One sloppy rotor.
Put new rotor on.
Now shes running smooth again.

Also, by the time I got there the oil had cleared up.

What a relief  !!!!

I redrained the oil and replaced the filter, just as an added precaution,
and we still have clear oil.

The grey must have been some residue from initally over filling it with oil.

Thanks to  all

Al Salvatore
