OK, so this went good Friday took me longer than 20 minutes but that's besides the point.
I have some things to add to the process and some photos of course.
I don't know about the rest of you but I could not get that lower screw for the distributor cap without removing the battery and tray. This was not a big deal for me since I was putting a new aftermarket battery bracket on and I needed to remove the tray to drill some holes.
Here is a
link to all the photos as I will only post a couple in this thread.
As promised here is the photo of my really dirty engine from this long over due maintenance issue:
I tried to use a gasket scraper and hammer to mark the bolt location but since mine was so filthy it was obvious even after removing the bold so I took a utility knife to it while it was out and on the cleaning towels.
And here is a shot of the tip direction before removal:
And the tip direction when I put it back in not perfect but I didn't notice it was off until I downloaded the photos.
So I started it up and it felt and sounded just as it always had. I took it for a 2 min spin around the neighborhood and just as I was patting myself on the back I pulled into the driveway and the RPM went down and she almost stalled. I didn't freak out, just left her to idle while I loaded up the tools into the truck. After taking the tools around back to the ally garage she felt fine again. It wasn't until I brought it back to the front driveway when I shifted to reverse the idle dropped again.
After sitting all day Sat I drove her about 4 miles today and she feels good as new. So my assessment is that I was a little off putting the dizzy back in but with driving it around and idling the computer will get things back in order as long as you are close. I will update if things change throughout the week as this is my daily driver.
