Why does it ask for the smaller bit on the F motor? Does anyone have a possible explanation for this? Just curious...

I just installed brand new plugs, .032 gap, new rotor, new correct cap, new condensor, and magnecor wires. I didn't put in the new "contact breaker" yet because I don't really know what to gap and how to adjust it. I'm going to try and go to Shayne's soon to put it in and set it with a meter.

I still need to get the other manifolds on... Either tomorrow or friday night i guess.

870 miles and still going well. Hasn't seemed to lose any oil over the last 370 miles since the last oil change either. The oil also seems reasonably clean, although i can't quite say the same for the rockers and springs up top. They're still just about as dirty as it was when i got the engine, maybe a little cleaner around the top where it squirts out on the rocker. I hope to get some M1 in there after a few more miles, gas is costing quite a bit though, premium...
