I currently have Shell premium, a bottle of ATF, and 2 cans of Seafoam, in the tank.I was going to run this out, and then do BG44K.Great stuff, I have used it for years.
I just thought I had plenty of Moose milk already.
I am amazed how well the car runs with all this wrong.Is there a good description , of installing dual points, here ,somewhere?
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! Mark

I used to use a dwellmeter when I had a 6.3

Put a business card between one set of points, crank it over and set the gap, then repeat on the second set.

If both points make contact the dwell will reflect the average of the pair, so you can get waaaay off base and still look ok.
