Thanks for the suggestions. How much fuel pressure is too much? I installed a pressure gauge temporarily and it showed 1psi. With the engine off and the fuel pump on there is no leakage from the carburetor. I assume this means the float valve is closing and not being forced open by the pump pressure. Is that a safe assumption? I checked the air gap between the rotor and the contacts in the distributor cap body. They range from.028-.040+. The copper tip on the rotor is bent down and passes very low on the contacts. Is that normal? Also, the flat spring on the top of the rotor has gotten very weak and the carbon button in the cap is flattened. Should I look for better quality parts? Which supplier should I go with? I checked the point gap and it is right at .020. Thanks again. Howie
