Over the last few days, I replaced the points, condensor, plug wires  and 
cap. Using Teri Wakemans' web site, I also converted to negative ground (  
Thank 
you Terri for the easy to folow explicit intructions). When I gapped the  
points, I also painted a white mark on the pulley near the timing point (even  
with the small hole) . ( dumb question, but the cylinder to the front IS the  
Number 1 cylinder, correct?) 
My dilemna is: today, I put an inductive timing light on the car. The mark  
that I painted on is an easy 1 1/2" to 2": to the right (carb side)  of the  
timing point. I did no further adjustments to the points or the distributor,  
figuring I should leave well enough alone for now, until I get some input  from 
the pro's out there. 
The idle is a bit high, around 950, but I blame this on the state of the  
carbs. The car sat for a few years and I have already ordered the Master 
rebuild  
kit from Moss for them. 
Again, thanks in advance for your help and input.
