Didn't Make It Home From Carlisle

I put the 318 together and it's back in the truck. There was nothing wrong with it. I thought for sure I would find something when I tore it down. I got a Pertronix ignitor and a new distributor cap. I put a new ballast resistor in it since I had one. The 318 has never run better. It fires right up and sounds great. One thing I can't figure is the timing. It has 30* of timing at idle with the vacuum advance disconnected. That doesn't seem right but it runs great. So, I pulled an engine and tore it down for nothing. Live and learn. Thanks for the advice FABO.
