[FWDLK] 1958 PLYMOUTH HARD STARTING

[John Bayerlein <bayerlin@BDC.BETHEL.ME.US>]

Dear FWDLK'ers,

                             Well, I have replaced the distributor
cap, points, ignition coil, plugs, wires and 2 bbl carb.
What stymies me is that a squirt of starter fluid
fires it up immediately. Hmmm. I'll check the timing
once again, but any suggestions whether to "advance"
or "retard"? Thank you.

PS: Why would the starter fluid always work even when done first?
