Hi all,
The Timing light and dwell Meter work fine on 6volt. No need for an external battery.
This evening I adjusted the dwell to 30deg. Spec is 31, so I think I will leave it at 30 for now and see if anything changes after some driving.
My new vac can arrived today, and I shimmed the spring with 2 washers I took out of a spare autolite dizzy I have.
Adding the springs shifted the vac advance curve. Before, advance started at 4,5 in, and was all in by 6. Now it starts at 6, and is all in by 9 in. We will see how that behaves.
This weekend I hope to set base Timing at idle to 0 deg, and see if she idles well...then hope I can do a test drive.
