I got the distributor in, new points and condenser. I used the light bulb method to time it figuring that would get me close to the proper timing. I fired it up and checked it with the timing light and it was spot-on. At this point I decided to follow the muir procedures and checked the dwell. It was off so I got the feeler guage and ajusted it. Then it wouldn't start. Went in ajusted it again and it started but it was low. After about 10 attempts it seems that unless I have the points wider than Muir said they should be it won't start. Once it has heated up even after starting it won't keep runing. The guy who helped me get it started last time messed with the manifold pressure sensor to ajust the mixture. Could this be the problem? The one thing that is making this really dificult is the fact that I can't ajust the points while looking at the dwell meter. Is there a way to do this? Or even a way to put in some kind of ajustment screw instead of movin them with my fingers and tightening the set screw. With all those springed things it seems impossible to simply measure things and tighten things.
