A couple of thoughts.... 140-160

Yeah, all the ignition components are new though... So anyway, I'll check the points gap, I'll swap on all my old bouicord wires, and swap in some other plugs again to the rear cylinders, and advance the timing a little bit and see where that gets me. And yeah, with the cool air outside it has definitely been less likely to ping running at 10 degrees advanced, but when I retarded it I didn't have my timing light with me, and am assuming it's around 0 degrees advanced right now, I'll be bumping it up a little bit, see if it helps me any. And about wires grounding on the block, that's not the case, my wires are in good condition, well, on the outside anyway, who know's what they're like inside, or if it will make any difference, but there wasn't any extraneous sparking that I could see last night in the dark....

Definitely having fun ;) =D Lol. It means that after I get through this the car will be running better than it was before, so it's all good!
