Yup - stock; I was planning on checking the points again next - in the other thread, the suggestion was made to "Check to be sure that your fixed point in the distributor is tight after the locking screw is tightened. I had a problem with my fixed point block which allowed the fixed point to be turn and move around even thought the locking screw was tight."

Thanks - might as well get two birds with one stone while I'm digging around in there.

In the Carmel Valley area - thanks for the offer. If I can't figure this out soon, I'm gonna go nuts thinking about it...
