BTW, the way I found the point of the largest gap was by holding the
feeler guage against the valve/rocker arm and rotated the engine around
TDC until I got a gap/maximum gap, then used that point for adjustment
to spec.

For some reason, the left side took more work to make this happen as the intake valve stayed tight until I backed out the piston a bit from TDC. I'm waiting for a new cap and rotor to arrive, hoping it will be here today, and am running out to get new plugs. I have installed a new condenser, new wires, and new points - gapped them w/o a problem. I guess I'll get it all back together and see how she runs. If too noisy, I'll shut down and try again. Don't know why a simple valve adjust is giving me problems.... Keith Ruff 71 Police Ambassador - NJ Martin Cooke wrote:
