If someone with real experience and no theory could please inter the discussion I would be grateful and will answer your questions.

Thanks for all, LD
Drip timing for someone who's never done it is fraught with the possibility of huge errors.

Since you have an '84, you have the capability of using the electronic RIV method for setting the timing. It's a 10 minute procedure and you can get accuracy to about 1/2 degree. Either find a shop that has this tool or rent the tool from one of the members on the tool rental program. It's a costly tool and has a large deposit, but, it fixes all your problems in about 15 minutes.

Good luck.

Drip timing is old school if you can use the electronic method.
