Hey Guys,

Once again just wanted to thank everybody that contributes to this site. Lately I noticed my car was having issue going up hills. Just seemed to run out of power. So I did some reading and decided to check my timing and such. I was following my Bently and timing it at 0 tdc. After reading through some posts I went with the 7.5 btdc, WOW what a difference It runs so smooth and has power. It's like a different car. Thanks guys.

Yeah Lee,

It's made a world of Difference. I and slowly but surely getting things done. I should post a few pics of the car tomorrow. I've restored the paint by wet sanding and polishing. I also have a question about a wire coming from the steering column. It looks like a flat wire between clear plastic and paper. Possibly old fusible link? it's broke and i have about 2 feet of it hanging out of the column.
