Pete, It sounds like the three of you have some "safety" issues to sort out. I'm not getting into that one.

There are two marks on the flywheel, a round one and a triangle. One is TDC the other is ignition timing. I forget which is which right now. I time mine by ear and keep playing with it until it runs right or I get sick of playing. My valve lash is less than what you are using.

I had a place cleaned in the shop for the roadster then my son's car quit and I put a new transfer case in it. Then my wife's Jeep has had a few problems. I did get a window and new heater core in the '68 flatbed. It makes winter driving more pleasant. I hope the get the roadster inside for a beginning mock up by the end of the month. I need to see how close things are to fitting and matching the picture in my head. Hope to have a roller sometime this summer.
