Okay guys. I might be just showing my limited knowledge on my motor timing skills, let me see what you guys think...I set the timing back in august when i changed the plugs and wires, and did some other various tune-up things...well. it has been running pretty good. but the last couple of times (within the past 2 weeks) it hasnt been running so good. It seems like the timing is off. I checked it and it hasn't moved around and the dist. is snug. when you kill it it park, it does that kinda keep turning over...does the timing change with the warmer weather???

Did you lower the octane of the fuel you are running? If you are running points you should also check your dwell.

you really need to elaborate on "not running so good"...that means a lot of different things to different people

Warmer weather does not change the timing, but it does affect how the engine runs. Your fuel charge is not as dense in warmer weather, so, it basically causes a bit of a lean condition.
Tony, what color boxes did your spark plugs come out of?? I remember your spark plug post from a looonng time ago.
