I set the tappet clearance at .017 and the points at .020 I can advance and retard the timing until it begins to stall, but there is no location inbetween where it runs smoothly. I have an even 88lbs compression across the board. I am really beginning to get frustrated, and would greatly appreciate any fresh ideas or insights that you all may have. Thanks! Aaron
