Time for a timing adjustment?

Good to know! I kind of assumed since it would be hard to get at it and all of the videos I find have the radiator removed. That might just be for visibility though.

The fuel pump is an interesting thing. I bought a new electric fuel pump thinking that the old one might be dying, but it didn't get installed. However, there could still be a delivery problem. From what I can tell, it's got the original mechanical fuel pump. Which if I understand correctly, should be delivering the correct amount of fuel to the carb.

I just spent about 30 minutes crawling under the car just to make sure there wasn't a separate fuel pump ALSO shoving gas in, since previously there was a fuel regulator in-line too (but the mechanic removed it).

Is there a way to measure the pressure of fuel into the carb? Or measure the timing to see if it's off?
