Does it run good now ?? I think you said it did. If the chain slipped, how good do you think it would run w/ the valve timing off as much as you said the distributor was ?
But then, maybe I didn't get it all,
Hey RJ,
I haven't tried to start her since she died on the freeway, but she appeared a lost cause that evening.
As I mentioned to Mex, I had thought a single tooth may not hurt. Sounds like I was mistaken and I would think 30 deg would mean more than a single tooth, but again... I don't know.
I would LOVE to hear that all I need to do is replace the distributor with a good reman for now and do a timing chain as maintenance over the winter when she's rarely used.
