[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 661541, member: 9031"] Sheesh the main thing comes to mind is granted a huge fault of mine and my way of thinking. That is that for some reason I think if I haven't seen a problem or had to repair a problem before, it's just not a real problem. Lol So my knee jerk reaction to help someone is based on whether in my 11yrs of being a technician have I seen it or not. I don't know if it's that I attack problems differently than most so I just work through it quickly and don't even pay attention to those little things or what? All in all I have built and worked on all makes and models. I have done a handful of pertronix points replacements especially 8-10yrs ago. I have just never seen a motor retarded to the point of needing hospital care that it didn't fall on it's face truly. Where the first concern is it feels like a lawn mower from a dead stop. So how in the world your timing was so particular that it made your motor over heat yet would run 12s in the quarter mile just blows my mind. Hopefully you will be able to really find the issue and solve it for good. I'm just a skeptic I guess. Again it's a fault of mine thinking if I have never had to fix it it doesn't really exist.
