no problem just glad to help. -- budd on sun 31 oct 2004 193318 gmt budd cochran mr-d150@citlinkspam.net wrote hi howie if its a point-type distributor set the points at 0.015 to 0.016 or 30-35 degrees dwell the more dwell the better. you may need to go as close as 0.014 to get the dwell right. if its electronic ignition the dwell is permanently set at 38 degrees. since its a motorhome set your initial timing at 10-12 degrees before top dead center. the extra ignition lead will give you better starting and easier acceleration. i suggest at least 89 octane fuel. the vacuum advance line goes to a ported vacuum nipple on the right side of the carb holley and carter 2 - barrels about 2/3 of the way up from the bottom. btw you need to block this port when setting your timing as it can affect the advance mechanism. set your idle rpm in drive and warmed up engine to about 650-675 rpm and the cold idle to about 1000-1200. thanks budd. i had to replace the distributor because it was the only way to get the vac advance locally. not a bad price though at 38 bucks. i followed your advice and the engine runs great. looking foward to burning out the stale gas from the tanks and i thing it will run even better with some fresh gas. thanks again. .

i just have to ask why do you want fog lights on with the high beams. they will just screw up your long distance vision with the high beams on. the light closer to the vehicle will cause more reflected light up close and that will cause your eyes to close the pupils some. that will mean you now cannot see as far or as well as you could without them on. if you think im fos try driving at night with the dome light on. it will do the same thing. fog lights are meant for fog and limited visibility where you need to light up the road under the fog snow. i have the same situation as the original poster. purchased a used truck where a auxilary set of driving lights was added but they used the wiring from the standard fog lights. would like to use then on high beam only to help illuminate along side the road in teh winter to avoid hitting moose. but the way they are wired is they go off when the brights are used. scott .
