I checked my timing and adjusted it some and reset the carb. Now it is back where it will idle but I haven't got to drive it yet. The dist. wasn't real loose but it would move fairly easy. I had just changed the valve cover gasket and was wondering if I could have hit it and moved it. I have got a road trip SAT. so I need to get it figured out. Any one have any ideals? Thanks Ronnie
