Keeping it alive

I was barley above 0c so I figured I would adjust the valves.
Having the car running concerned me but what the heck why not.

So I was there with the feeler gauges and my little spanner and it was going OK, then as I have been tweeking and fiddling all of a sudden.......

The engine started to sing!

Really, it was throwing out a beat.

I was kind of weird.

What a difference all of a sudden the shaking stopped and Ronda got real quiet.......Purring like a kitten.
I got out the vacuum gauge and rock steady on 20 then came the timing light and a solid 5 degrees advance.
Me happy.
