So, I pulled the distributor last night, got the base loose, cleaned everything up and stuck it back in the engine, put in new plugs. I "tuned" the engine by ear for timing, then used the timing light. I was very close to 18 degrees and left it there. Drove the car a couple of miles out of town and back and checked the plugs. I think I might be just a tad lean, but in this weather one can expect that -10 degrees wind chill. It started right up this morning with the temps in single digits, so I am thinking I might be really close. It did pink a bit on the road last night so I might advance things just a bit and/or turn the mixture one more flat...

Merry Christmas
