inPro tip: spend the 20 bucks on a real timing light, that 1970 Chevelle points job took me 6 hours with the harbor freight one
Wait, a Sun machine? Your neighbor just casually has an old Sun diagnostic machine sitting in his garage in Akron? Those things are like the holy grail for old school tune ups and most of them got scrapped or rotted away decades ago. The fact that he walked that thing across the street and had your Chevelle running right in 15 minutes is wild to me. Six hours with the Harbor Freight light vs 15 minutes on real equipment tells you everything about why those cheap ones are basically a paperweight with a cord. Chasing a misfire for 3 evenings over 2 degrees of dwell would've had me pulling my hair out.

inMy cast iron cornbread came out black on the bottom and raw in the middle, and I blame the internet
How did you figure out the oven was running hot, did you test it with a thermometer or just guess after the cornbread failed? I'm curious because mine browns stuff way too fast on top and I've never bothered checking.

inWhy does nobody talk about the spindle warm up biting you on a Monday morning
Honestly been there with the Monday morning bite, cost me a batch of bores too. What fixed it for me was throwing a 10 minute warm up in MDI before touching anything, spindle at like 2000 then work up. Cheaper than scrapping parts, that's for sure.
