Oh, and I didn't do the points yet cause I can't find them LOL. One other thing, I just got a new fan belt and my adjuster will barely get the belt tight so I tried a slightly smaller belt from Checkers. It was tough putting it on and I cranked it over once, didn't start, and I checked the belt and WOW was it tight. So I took my knife and cut it off and put the new factory belt back on. I took off the adjuster arm and did some grinding to get it to adjust properly but I was worried that the tight belt may have done some damage. It was just around the crankshaft and fan belts, not around water pump or alternator. After this little episode I tried to start it and it sputtered and died for about three starts and then would no longer start. I wouldn't think you could damage anything with a tight belt around the crankshaft by just turning over the engine, right?</p></blockquote><p></p>
