Default Re: Loss of Power up Hill

If you put new points in recently new points have a tendency to close up dramatically in the first few hundred miles from where you set them. From a setting of .020 they can easily close to .010. This can cause you to lose power on a grade. Check the gap and re-set if that is the case. After a while a glaze is acquired to the rubbing block and the close-up is less dramatic. It is prudent to check the point gap each time you change the oil.
