Good advice, Jeff! I’ll keep that in mind when I finally get this resolved, THe only thing that’s bugging me now is the fact that when I hold the rotor and turn the dist case counterclockwise, the points are opening too soon.The limit screw was set when I used this engine for years without it changing, but now it has about 1/4″ to get to the stop. Something is not correct now. I’ve even gone thru the point adjustment again using the 1965 specs but it’s correct. Going to pursue the the 1966 specs and see if it comes out correctly. The confusing part is that I had always assumed, in the past, it was a 1965 900 and set it up accordingly. Never had any problems for years. Must be my advancing age giving me “The Stupids” !
Think I’ll have to take a break today since the long days of standing by the motor has stiffened up my back.
