<VV> How to cold set Timing

[Dave Thompson]

Being a semi-mubie, I never noticed how the plug wires were installed in my
cap. NOW I know why my vacuum retard diaphragm is dangerously close to the
belt. The previous owner must have stabbed the distributor wrong and moved
the wires to correct it.... One more project for this weekend.

Smitty Says:  Every time this subject comes up I get a chuckle out of it.  I
used to find where I had spark for # 1 and then put the wires in the
distriburor accordingly.  Got so much flack about it and almost burned out a
bearing trying to explain why it didn't matter where # 1 was plugged into
the distributor that I quit doing it.
