I have not had it out i got the car in a trade and noticed it had a spudder and didnt seem to be running as smooth as it should so i replaced the plugs the wires and the distributor cap but it still had a spudder/ miss fire at mid to low rpm while driving so i tried advancing and retarding the timing at the distributor and noticed it was not at all close to being where it should
