Hi Eric
Guess I should have said that I had to get in the
cylinder head and replace a burnt valve and a broken
valve spring. I put all of it back proper like but I
guess I need to set the engine into lockup and reset
the timing chains and the dist.
I had a feeling it was timing....darn it
Its the one thing I hate to do on this car.....its
such a complex set up......

Well ..wish me luck
