No problemo amigo

 

That's the plug gap John. The points gap on a 66 C code 289 is .017.

 

ROTFLMAO!!!

I shall now stop a rather fruitless search for what was acting like a vacum leak! [sm=icon_rock.gif]

Runs fine now, thanks to both of you. LMAO!!!

Hell, if that's the worst thing that happens in a day it's been a pretty good day...

 

Dooh! Good catch there buddy. I should have caught that one myself. I feel like such a boob! I hope he didn't try to get the car running with a .034 Point gap.

let's just say it didn't run so great LOL!!!!

No prob!

 

Lol, yeah that would have been a dance for the points to arc across that gap.

 

.017 is also the gap or thickness of the cardbord box that the points comes in. so you can actually use the box to measure the gap. I thought it was a pretty cool tip, Thannx to an oldtimer i met at pepboys.
