Where I came from, it was the silver paper in a pack of Camels.

This is an archaic, agricultural history motor. Surely you jest. I drove an Eldo once of 96K miles on the factory points. I drove for years with NO timing light. Just loosen the distributor, whack open the throttle along the road, if it doesn't ping, advance it a little. When it starts to respond with a ping, then retard it a few degrees. Sheesh, you guys need to ride a little more. :-) Patrick |
