Ok, here goes........

Lined up the IP marks as you said, and the crank to 24 BTDC.........then did drip test.........test showed that the IP was stopping flow at about 5 BTDC.

I then set crank at 30 BTDC, then set marks on IP again, did drip test, slightly out, then loosened 13 mm nuts, made slight adjustment, did drip test 3 X's...........have you heard the term "Balls on?" Well, now it is.

Put everything back together, primed pump, cranked nothing...............................battery too low.

Pulled my tahoe next, to it, jumped it.....................5 minutes, it is running.

Now I make my final tweaks to the idle. Finally it is idling the way it was supposed to.........slowly, man it is nice now, not idling at a traffic light at about 2000 RPM, now it seems to be a steady 700 or so, have to get my light out at look at it, and get it set. Seems to be holding the oil pressure at about 37 - 38 #'s idling and that seems to be best by ear anyway.

Thanks for all the help Peter, the help with the marks on the IP put me over.
I appreciate it!
