[T3] Hothe is looking better

[Keith Park]

Took the 71 up on the highway with the 2056 yesterday,  the oil cooler kept
sump temps below 205,

and when I got off 25 miles later I had 16psi oil pressure at idle!  Right
where it should be!  what a difference

the right oil makes.

 

I did hear some detonation on a couple of hills on the way back, can
intermittant ignition cause that?

I was having an issue with the coil connection at the time.'

 

Tonight I rebuilt the distributor, it was in pretty good shape but now its
running WAY lean, has no power and wont idle.

I screwed something up but can imagine what...  moving the advance curve up
a smidge and trigger points timing up a few degrees

cant cause that could it?  Thats about all I changed with the distributor.

 

Have to noodle with it more at another time,  at the camp this weekend.
