[QUOTE="lowbudgetjunk, post: 562541"] I have read and re read some material on setting points using feeler gauges and a dwell meter. What I read states you need to check timing when using the dwell meter, but says nothing about it when you use feeler gauges. Do I need to set timing again if I use feeler gauges? If so, it will require me to bring my timing light along for the trip. The engine in question is a 455 Oldsmobile. This is more for just in case it decides to quit firing on my 885 mile journey back home. I am bringing some spare parts to include: ignition coil, distributor cap, button, points with condenser and a thermostat. Why risk not having something that could be a huge problem that costs so little. [/QUOTE]
