Barbara, don't give up yet, I keep checking back every day expecting one of us to have figured it out. the timing setting on the front mount dist. is fairly simple although I have only done it by ear, adjust timing readjust carb ect. ect. Looking at the dist. from the side opposite from the carburetor you'll see a screw on the side of it holding a small plate about 1/2inch wide by an inch long, with engine NOT running loosen screw and move plate up or down to advance or retard timing, (make sure you mark were it was set with pencil mark before you move it so you put it back if need be), if its in the middle to start with it will only move up or down about an 1/2 inch so you can't screw it up to much, if you get it out of timing to much it won't start or backfire, just keep changing it a little at a time until it runs smooth as it can, I'm still tinkering with other things to get it right and sooner or later one of us will figure it out, "surely" Phil.
