Re: valve/rocker adjustment

That's the old method but it should work with the stock cam.
Do the first batch with the rotor pointing at #1 electrode (timing marks aligned) then rotate crank one full turn pointing at #6 electrode (timing marks aligned again) and do the second batch.
p.s. good lookin' car you got there
