Thanks so much guys. I see a lot of things I have never checked such as valve gap, coil and plug wires, etc. Tha coil is quite new and has been changed since it started acting this way so doubt if that's it. I meant to say 20 thousandths for the gap in the points. Guess some remedial math is in order for me. I'm not sure where the timing should be. I have a timing light but the book is confusing to me. Thanks again. I'll try some of these tips. Doug
PS: The valves and seats were all ground. Would it be in the book how to set the valve gap? I assume that is done under the valve cover. I don't want to take the head off. I do appreciate this advice and I'm trying to learn the finer points of engine tuning.
