Distributor shaft

[tim at unrealexpectations.ath.cx (stetson)]

Thanks Ron!!!

I didn't think so but I am far from being able to say my engine accumen
is of any amount worthwhile.

Seems that it got better when I used a floor jack to lift the downpipe
onto the manifold.
Got even better when I found a hole in the distributors vacuum advance
line.

It runs well enough to be driven out of the garage and that's enough
right now. I have other priorities that should have taken precedence over
a new project.

Cincy in a week, and I have sooooooo much to do to the Roc!

I still have to get the beer too. Interesting twist therein as well but
'tis for another post.

Many thanks Sir!

Tim
