- After taking all your great advice, I have at least got the engine to where it is idling at 1200 (it jumped from 800 to 1200 just by adjusting the points); running fast on the road (you may recall I

- I have a Sears timing light and I think it (or any other model) is a handy and worthwhile tool to have around. But then I think that about most all tools. It makes timing an easy task such that I pro

- Do you mean 'there is now a hose to the intake manifold', or 'there is no hose to the manifold'? 25D4 distributors have a vernier adjustment as part of the vacuum capsule, the capsule is slightly loo

- [I sent this yesterday but it never showed up] 1200 RPM is higher than necessary for the idle (burns gas). I keep mine down around 850 (hot). Advancing the timing will speed up the idle (to a point),

- A correction: the vernier on the distributor does not adjust the dwell -- it advances or retards the timing, by tiny increments. I seem to recall that the total adjustment range of the vernier is so

- I recall hearing something like that, also. I may have counted the clicks to get the total range. But then, it would have been some time ago, and maybe I misremembered. 50-some clicks seems a lot...
