I've got some time free on Friday if you want another pair of eyes and ears on it. Do you have a timing light and dwell meter? I'm not a mechanic but I do my own work on my car when I can. Email me your phone number if you want and I'll give you a call.

Al,

Thanks for the generous offer! Unfortunately I am working Friday and won't be able to touch the car that day. I do have a timing light, but not a dwell. Maybe another time?

Thanks,

Doug
