ChrisV=> Would an MSD Blaster 2 Ignition Coil work? Yeah, probably. But a stock Bosch black or Bosch blue will work better, longer and cheaper. More spark than you need will only add heat to your heads. (I've heard rumors of high-spark equipment burning holes in pistons as well, but can't confirm.) Sticking with Bosch parts will pay off in dependability and longevity. => I'm sure that the fan belt needs to be => tightened as well Don't worry about it unless you think it's loose enough to be slipping on the generator pulley. To loosen the generator pulley nut, use two 8" adjustable wrenches, one on the 'hat', one on the nut. Yup, approach diagonally, it works. => It seems then that my dist was installed => incorrectly This will make proper timing difficult, since the condensor and vac can will run into the tin. You may find it simpler to turn the distributor into its proper position and reposition the plug wires as they were in the previous position. => based on what Muir said I believe the gauge => I need is different Bear in mind that Muir was writing almost thirty years ago. It's unlikely that you're dealing with something special in terms of valve timing today. => besides it will give me a better feel for the valves. That's a good thought. => What is starting fluid Generally unnecessary.
