    I had advanced it a little in the quest for more power.... Fools errand lol. It's set exactly per the manual now It's possible... The engine has had HG sealant in it but it's been rebuilt since then and I've had the head off block drained... Nothing looked plugged up

    I've seen some threads on changing the oil but how do you adjust those points? I assume it's something you change while the hub is disassembled?

    So I've considered this... I'm using an analog (capillary tube) eqqus guage, it's about the cheapest one you can get. I've thought that maybe it's way off but when the aftermarket guage reads 220 my stock dash guage starts to climb slightly so I'm thinking it's not too far off, however I have no...
