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
