If I do the left cylinder properly and accurately in the first place. How
the heck can the gap be too small? Unless there is something wrong with the
distributor lobe? I just did the gap for the left side. I just set it
microscopically perfectly. If I do ANYTHING to those points I'm going to
screw up the perfection I just did. I repeat, if you do the left cylinder
accurately and you find the right side to be early or late, your only option
is to adjust the timing for a compromise so that one side is early and the
other is late in equal amounts. You can't go back and touch the points. If
I can't be reliant on my gap and timing for the left cylinder, then why
should I have any greater reliance or dependency on my ability to set the
right side cylinder?
