After logging a 14 mpg tank of gas, I am do*竜xne up! The points had "nipples" on them that I filed off (I will be buying Compufire soon...). I adjusted the valves tonight, and I have a question: Why was the #3 exhaust valve still at .006" gap? All the others were between .007 and .010. Does this mean I am burning up this valve? Tommorow I will regap the points and static time. But I can't match my fan pulley marks with the Muir guide. The marks look like this I I I I, which looks like a '72+ from the illustrations. The motor was rebuilt by the PO, who I know had a '68 motor in there for awhile, but that doesn't match either. I list consensus is 7.5 deg. BTDC for my 009/dual solex setup, so which notch? In the past I used the 3rd (from the left), assuming they were 0.0, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 respectively...
