Maintenance Today

Well I changed the oil, plugs, belt, and checked the timing. It was running a little weird and I didn't know where it was coming from. I found my answer as soon as I went to loosen the distributor... I could move the hold down bolt with my fingers:nonono: I put the timing at 13deg and tightened and connected the spout. What a difference. I wonder how the bolt backed out. Another thing, has anyone had any problems with their dipstick tube with headers? Mine is about to break where the flange connects to the headers.

Thanks Guys,
Stephen

Mine broke there too. It is just sitting there. You can pull the entire tube out of the pan if you want to. I am leaving it for now. I have other issues to contend with.
