big point gap?

Post by mterrens »

My Coupe is running roughly - like it wants to sputter to a stop. I figured
I ought to go through and check a few things - ignition timing, etc. I
started, randomly, at the point gap. The book says the gap should be 0.3 -
0.4mm. I assume this is with the gap at it's greatest point. My gap seems
to be about 2 full millimeters! This is such a discrepancy that I figured I
would write here for opinions before I adjusted it so dramatically. I have
never seen the gap "correct" so I have no baseline to work from. Click on

Your input is appreciated. I also happen to have a new contact set and a
new condensor. At what point should I decided to replace what I have?
Another issue. My crankshaft pulley doesn't seem to have a timing notch!
At least nothing that LOOKS like a notch that was put there intentionally.
What to do?
Thanks much,
Steve
