Stopped by the hardware store to pick up some set screws to plug the "AIR" holes in the back of the heads. Picked up the 5/8 18 set screws and headed on home. Had company, so was not able to accomplish much. Snuck off to the garage after they left and tried the set screw. No go. Seems to be a different thread, will try again tommorow.

Now for the other items I checked into. I rotated the engine with my thumb over the #1 spark plug. I am not 180 degrees off. I pulled the #3 plug and rotated again, and I get a puff of air as it leaves the number one and goes onto the 3 on the distributor. So, I think my firing order is correct.

My timin mark does not line up when I am at TDC. Is this easy to fix, or should I just use chalk when I time?

Any other thoughts? Going to bed for now.

Thanks for all the help guys!
