Got a good, long run yesterday with the help of buddy. Got engine fully warmed and the choke all the way in for several minutes.

The aforementioned advance of my distributor made a big difference. But now I can do no more advancing. The grease cup is hitting the vac advance. Is pulling the distributor to re-align everything the only way to remedy this? I think I have an old thread tagged with a procedure somewhere.

Exhaust heat riser still stuck. Need to try that one more time and if I can't... punt and switch out manifolds.

Idle was a little tougher than I'd like. But without exhaust hooked up or being able to fine tune the timing...also a little tough to tell.
