When I said I learned how to gauge how much to turn , I was referring that I learned how sensitive the amount of turn should be - before I asked I was thinking 1/2 “ turn , now I realize 1/2” would be closer to 15-20 degrees . And I also learned use the light just to be sure and know exact , not a guess .
Thanks for the advice all ! I plan to clean and paint the balancer and gauge flat black and use the white out to mark the 12 degree and yellow to mark 14 -
That's what I use, Wite-Out. Doesn't make a super fine line, but it's wide enough so you can see it. It doesn't wash off, will last many years.
@revhead347 You're right, Kurt. My math was off by a factor of 2. The dizzy spins off of the cam... That's what I get for doing public math when the real takeaway is "don't try it, get a light." Thanks for the catch.
I just did mine today. Went from 12 to 14 barely, and I mean barely touched it I use the Milwaukee junkyard yellow pen. Home depot has them . This Harbor Freight light is good for @20 bucks
I got around to changing the fuel filter. Car seems to idle much more smoothly , the irregular light choppy feel is gone . Gas in old filter was dirty with a high amount of visual black specks ( like a fine ground pepper ) . Maybe the old filter was restricting flow and causing the chop and furthermore causing AF mix to run lean ( would that cause engine temps to run hotter ? ) also , what are the options to clean out tank ? Does it have any drain Valve ? Btw , car has been running 180-200 degrees over the winter and in this early spring outdoor temps of 65 degrees in Wash DC area .
Check for the plastic wind deflector attached to the bottom of the core support....and for the black paper like extensions that go from the sides of the radiator towards the bumper. If those things aren't there the air will go around the radiator and not through it at highway speeds.
