When it is idling, there is a definite change with the spark lever. Sounds like maybe no one is thinking timing may be off? Before all of this, I could drive the car around 52 MPH and it seemed like it wanted to go much faster, but I would keep it there to keep it from bubbling the radiator after a distance. It also seems like it is not idling as smooth as it should either. I can try the old condenser, and I think I will try the old coil before I time it again. Could the detent on the gear be off with top dead center? I was thinking about that this morning that I could check that with a plug out to see. Thanks
