I had multiple issues going on, first the point gap in distributor was touching. The little plastic rotating arm in distributor had a piece broken off, I super glued that back on. Maybe that was making it unstable... Then after that, the timing was better but pretty far off. As I got it closer to top dead center it sounded better and better. Then after a random shock, I decided to only adjust the distributor with the vehicle off, ha..
Now ‘47 start instantly and I’ve never heard her run so soft and stable. Unreal!
Thank you all very much, you helped a rookie get this vehicle better than I ever had it running. ‘47 was my papa’s and he gave me it just before he passed. He drove this up until he was 95 and loved it, and I see why!
If you guys ever need design/engineering on fire sprinkler work, let me know lol.
Thanks,
Chad
