Try this Keith....with both sparkplugs out, turn the engine over with a
wrench and watch the intake valve on the left cylinder...make sure you are
turning the engine in the correct direction...after the intake opens and
closes turn the engine to where the piston is at the top of it's stroke(this
is also a good time to verify the pulley marks)....this is TDC and this is
the ONLY place to adjust your valves....repeat for right cylinder...
call me if you'd like...731-627-9024

| I did this and when the piston was at it's highest point (closest to the spark plus) the rocker arms would shift from one coming down to the other coming up, but would require me to tweak the stroke a bit to get the gap to open up so I could check and adjust the gap. 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:
