    Todays fuel has very little lubricating qualities. These older engines especially, you gotta add lube to the fuel...

    this may sound like a dumb question! but is there a measurement or spec cat recommends for the 2 screws on the timing advance? i would like to check mine to see if it is close, i have a feeling thet have bin messed with while pump was reinstalled, i took my avance cover off and from the back of the big nut to the end of the thredded nipple is .90 and from the very tip of the smaller inside crew to the end of that same big thredes nipple is .80
