Great info there Bm, I hadn't known about the timing marks on the flywheel. I saw there was no pointer on the front cover and no marks on the crank. So I'll check into the flywheel markings. The thing that concerns me is the fuel, we had a talk about this awhile back and LarrBeard posted about fuel being 68 octane in ww2. That will burn a lot faster then today's 87, so is factory timing really optimal if those numbers are for faster burning fuel?
Saturday was a car/airplane show at the local airport. So we drove Flossy out, and even drove through a roundabout and a big 4 lane road. But it handled those scary modern roads like a champ, there were plenty of people passing us going willys speed when people are in a hurry. With the vacuum leak eliminated its running like a top! And Flossy sure got a lot of attention, even with stiff competition from the airplanes. The traffic director almost didn't let us in the gate, I guess he didn't think Flossy was "car show material" but that's okay. Tons of people loved seeing it and it may not look good but it literally starts faster than 90% percent of others cars there, haha! Here's a few pics of the event.
