I've got my BN back together (thanks, ScottyHOMeY on the head bolt question, that was simple enough) and it seems to be running well.
Since I've been running this machine it's had a bit of skip (chuff) on high idle. Since I had it in the garage to replace the head gasket I deiced to do a full tune up (obviously the valves lash since the head was off, plugs, wires, went through the carb etc).
After all that I still had the skip so I finally loosened up the distributor and fiddled with it until it smoothed out.
Since the BN doesn't have the timing marks that the later machines that came with distributors is this pretty much the best the best method for getting it "right"? I know you can cause heat issues if you have your timing to far retarded (which is what I did, retard the timing that is). I'm guessing, these things are to finicky but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
