Hey, I'm convinced. 20 before at what rpm? With distributor vacuum
connected or disconnected?
I also want to check that my valve timing is right. My timing mark on
the pulley seems to be off a bit: something like five degrees, if I
recall, from TDC as determined by looking down the spark plug holes and
at the valves rocking. I know you can flip the timing chain gears to
alter the timing by less than a tooth, but how do you know when it's
right?
