i am waiting on my rocker arm assembly to return and so i thought i would start to make some notes on setting the car up for it's first start. i have been reading some different notes and the manual and here is what i am coming up with:
Lilly is a tri-carb model and i am running Pertronix ignition:
Timing: i was going to static time the engine to 5* BTDC
valve lash: figured i would set them at .014 cold
carb mixture: i set the mixture nut all the way up and opened them up 2 full turns
slow idle screw: setting that to 1 full turn
Plug gap: .025
does this sound like a good starting point to get the car firing and running weel enough to get it warm and then start to adjust from there? or has someone found a better spot to start from?
Thanks
