David Bartlet: Thank you for the reply. I never used the feeler gauge WITH the tool or at the same time. I did those two methods separately. The points are aftermarket. I will go out to try and run it today and see if it runs even though the hashtags aren’t anywhere near to where they should be and update here when done. Thanks again!
Crosbyman: Thank you! Points were ordered off of Ebay. Aftermarket of course. I really just adjusted them paying attention the to exact spot where they opened up just enough for the20 feeler gauge. Not using the highest point on the lobe. It is possible they are the wrong points and that is throwing it off. I will go tinker some more and update here later. Thank you for your thoughts!!!!
