200 six. Offered to do the swap upgrade but Mrs. wanted it all stock. '91 it had a dent in every panel 'cept trunk and roof. trashed tranny, 68k miles, and needed some work. We stayed at it for a year polishing stainless, choosing body shop, new rubbers, a few bits here and there, newer late model transmission, etc.That's what I'm talking about!
Simple solid and dependable!
Did I mention good looking? Tell me it's a 289!
My days are numbered. I will take delivery of this before it is too late.Whooooowaaaa! I have got to get my Chevelle out and get her going before I run out of days!
Once upon a time the US made automobiles!
I can make work benches in a heartbeat with saw horse and planks. I can make a work table with plywood and garbage cans if I need bigger than 12 x 48 (my HD shelving). I have given up on dedicated space because we built a much smaller home after our kids moved on. I keep my space flexible. I do projects for my kids homes, my sailboat, etc on the fly.View attachment 197665
I make room by putting labeled storage tubs on furniture dollies that fit under a sturdy 36inch shelf.View attachment 197666 My rolling bases only seem to move when I am sweeping the garage.
I have been racing since I was 14. Great Lakes, West Coast, back to great lakes. I couldn't take daughters riding at 6 or 8 but swimming near the shore was cats meow. We raced (still do) up and down the coast of Wisconsin. Those boats took my project time. And we were fast (5.6 mph to the competition 5.57 mph).Sail boat. Give me a break. My sail boat is in the barn. It's been there 30 years. 20 foot mast. 2 horse kicker. So hot here, and you know in a sail boat moving with the wind, it's dead still in the boat and it's like cooking lobster. Your the lobster! So I sailed at night, "Moontan"
So, I ran a check on my timing. Right side was dead on. Left side which has been a problem before was 1/2 inch from the timing F mark advanced.
Ok, I have a set of points to replace these. For some reason with the point plate tight, I can still put a screw driver in the slot and change the setting as I'm watching with the timing light. Mounting screw is not too long. point plate seems to be tightening down. But I'll just order me a set of Yama mama points for spare.
Ran a search, Yama 256-81621-11 and Ok, Amazon: Click, click. REALLY! WTF is wrong with these people! Are there people that would actually shell out the bucks for these? It's people like this I want to set fire to!

I had a similar problem with the left points closing and every couple of days I would have to re-gap and reset the timing. I found that when I fitted new Hitachi points I left out one flat washer off the screw securing the points and it was bottoming out because it was too long. After installing the extra washer I still had difficulty getting the timing right and found one of the three countersunk screws that secure the point's housing was not sitting flush with the surface because I had installed an after market countersunk washer that was too thick and the point's plate was not seating correctly. Once I had filed down the washer and the screw seated properly I had no issues setting the timing and the bike has run great for two weeks but the boyer kit is on its way.So, I ran a check on my timing. Right side was dead on. Left side which has been a problem before was 1/2 inch from the timing F mark advanced.
