The radiator has been flow tested. However I am going to UV temp test it as mentioned earlier as a double check. The distributor was replaced so I will be checking it next. The timing mark moves predictably when the throttle is hit. This doesn't mean it can't use some grease and a checkup.
I have a pertronix electronic insert for a 6V neg ground if anyone is interested. Had it custom made before finding out that someone wired the battery wrong. Mine is a positive ground system.

One question about checking timing. I don't see a plate that has the degrees timing. All I see is a yellow line on hte balancer and a pin on the block. Am I missing something ?
