Re: Opinion on ignition

[Jacob Fox <imfast101@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nice! Thanks for all the info! Ima hit that seal in the winter...unfortunately the only junk yards here have newer vehicles. Is there anything besides petronix or however it's spelled that y'all would recommend?

I got a little droplet after running my car, slightly annoying, but on Chevys they weren't that bad with a two piece..just sucks changing them. I gotta take valve covers off soon and put new gaskets cause of leak and I'ma repaint while off. Does anyone know how to adjust valves? I'm thinking no one has never touched the motor and it's got 110k on it...if I had the money and knowledge for a rebuild I'd love to...

The guy I got it from just had it for a short time and didn't know...figured 110k is kindve a lot of a old mopar motor like that...any help would be great!
