HEY Deb, how do you go about finding out what it likes BEST?

But it's right near that number if it isn't right on.
The Chilton's Manual said 0.015. That's exactly where's it's at! DeadHorse said 0.018.

Since it starts right up and acceleration is good it's probably pretty darn close to where it should be. Take it for a drive and see how it does.
I'm about ready to take it out and to that. I'll find out if the acceleration is good then.

That is the only thing I can say about the distributor on a chevy, I like the allen wrench way of setting points. I wonder if they did that cause the darn thing is clear in the back where short people can barely reach. The bad part is the dumping off the water off the hood right onto it.
Friends don't let friends work on Chevys!

Alright, I'm outta here, and this time I mean it! No, HONEST
