Juxt3r and I finally got around to fiddling with my timing today - bumping it from 9* to 16* - which seemed to perk things up a bit! On the test drive, we kept hearing a big CLUNK under the hood but couldn't figure out what it was. We were pretty sure all the tools were put up.
But, alas, I had left one in the cowl... :punchout:
