I've repaired the distributor, but haven't gotten to the test drive yet, but I recently discovered that I might have the wrong carb adapter plate (1 11/16" bore) installed for the Offy 5416 intake. I'm hoping that one of you guys can tell me what the 5416 bore size is, so that I don't have to pullit back apart to check.. I assumed that the bores on the carb adpater were the same as the carb and intake. But, as sometimes happens, I might get some practing R&I 'ing, and also be reminded of the true definition of assume.

Hank,
You and others have mentioned squish / squish band. What does this mean? I have an idea that it relates to compression rate based on cam timing in relation to RPM rates and rates of change, but I'm not sure.

Tom,
I think I figured out the pic posting process. We'll see how well it works.

Thanks for all the help
