The distributor arrived earlier than expected on Friday. I installed it last night and finished the details this morning. I really wanted to use my new piston stop to find TDC since my damper isn't marked. Unfortunately the piston stop won't thread into the cylinder. It looks like the right diameter and is the right thread pitch, but it won't fit. Anyway I'll have to figure out the timing later. Now to the good part. I rolled the car out into the driveway added a little bit of gas to the carburetor and it started on the first crank. The sound of that motor was music to my ears. It went up on the high idle and ran very smooth. Smoother than before to be honest. I kicked it down after it was up to temp and it went into a nice 650rpm idle. I shut it off to put the air cleaner on and it started instantly without touching the gas. While I have no way of knowing for sure I think the timing must be pretty close. I'll work on that more later, but for now I'm a happy camper.
