Howdy all,
I'm getting ready to do some basic tune-up stuff on my 259 cu. (which I believe is from a '59 Lark -it's in my '50 2R p/u). I plan on changing plugs, cap/rotor/condenser, etc. and have a couple of questions...
-Does anyone have any preference as to what type (brand/part#) of plug to use in this motor?
-What should the timing be set at? Points gap?
-Anyone know what the normal impedance of a spark plug wire should be? I'd like to check these with my volt meter, as I'm a little suspect of the ones that are in there and may want to replace these as well.
Any other words of wisdom you might want to interject would definitely be welcome. I'm a bit of a novice mechanic and I'm new to Studes, so I need all the help I can get!
Thanks in advance,
Boardhoarder
