Glad it worked.
The increased point gap lengthens the time duration of the spark - better for igniting lean and lazy idle mixtures (burn slower) - this MIGHT be what helped with my backfire issue when coasting (trying to prevent unburnt fuel from finding exhaust system).
The rest is a combination of Les Andrews instructions with a few tidbits tossed in from a FoMoCo engine apprentice - met him at a car show, he worked at Ford during the Model A era. Wish I could find him again! Got all kinds of questions now.
I do not think the Barn has a technical sticky section. I belong to a camaro forum, and each technical subsection of the forum has sticky posts for the obvious and often asked stuff - makes it easy to look things up.
