All righty, I got everything hooked up and we took it for a spin. Here are my questions: 1. I seem to have a minor (very minor ) oil leak but I can not see to find the source. How concerned should I be. NOTE this is a brand new rebuilt GEX engine 2. I have the Dwell set EXACTLY at 50 deg (i.e. points at .016") and the engine at what seems to be o drg TDC. This is an "F" number engine but it does seem to have dual pressure relief andis a single port. Am I setting this right? 3. Even thoiugh all of this has been set it seem to be running AWFULLY hot. Anything I could be doing wrong? I do not want to have to replace this engine anytime soon. It runs fine after it warms up but it does dies quite a bit when it is warming up if I do not give it gas. BTW, the RPMs are between 800 and 900 at idle.
