[QUOTE="BrayD, post: 504625, member: 24554"] Hadn’t thought about that, but it makes perfect sense. Wasn’t seeing much smoke and I’m running 16:1 in it right now. I pulled the flywheel tonight. Coils and ignition in general looks great. Must’ve been replaced fairly recently. That said, one coil ground wire was rubbing the flywheel and wore the insulation off in one spot. I put some liquid tape on it and moved it away from the flywheel. Setting the points - if I set it at .020 with the follower at the arrow on the cam, they open far wider as the high point of the lobe is around the ‘O’ location of the ‘TOP’ stamping. Should I set it at the arrow or the ‘O’? [/QUOTE]
