Default Re: Hot soak? No, not in the tub :)

Also, I had a new distributor fitted to my car and it took a while to discover that the distributor cam had either been machined off centre or machined wrongly.
It was hard to get it to run smoothly and I normally set the points at 20 thou on number 1 cylinder (Having checked the timing at the same time.)
What I didn't realise was that if I'd checked the gap on the other 3 lobes at the same time I would have found the gaps to be 30-40thou.
A new "super" cam transformed the car
