I borrowed a depth mic and rechecked the sleeve stick-out. Found that the max is .003 - most measurements were in the .001-2 range. Using the end of my old calipers wasn't doing a very good job of measuring. So I should be OK there.
Someone here locally asked if I had retorqued the head. I had not done that - manual didn't say to. Should I have to retorque them? If so, how long should I run it before a retorque?
On the detonation possibility... I pulled apart the distributor and found that the pivots on the advance weights had a lot of slop and the springs looked a bit stretched. Would this be enough to give me detonation issues?
I checked with the IH dealer and they can't get new springs anymore. Steel Wheel Ranch has some used springs, but I have no idea if they would be any better than what I have. Anyone know of a source for NOS springs or a way to verify if mine are OK?
