I did do a rough check of chain stretch when I adjusted the values, and it looked ok. The reason I went right to the pump timing is that I could see where the previous owner (or his mechanic) had adjusted it recently. I could see marks on the nuts holding the IP.

I did notice that the rear bolt holding the IP is missing. Do you know what size it is?

I took a short spin in the car a few minutes ago, and noticed how much faster the car starts. It used to have to turn over a few times before it would fire, but now it starts right away.

I probably need to get that rear bolt in the IP or maybe it could move.

thanks
