I smoothed the booger out some more by adjusting the idle mixture, smoothed out the fluctuation too. It seems better at 8 deg advanced so I put it back there for now. Still idling a bit high, near 1000 (the old tach in the booger just ain't that accurate).
Do either of ya'll have a feel for what the vacuum pressure ought to be? (is vacuum pressure a contradiction of terms?) it's abot 15 in now. With the mixture adjustment there is almost no detectable fluctuation. I might even be immagining it now 'cause I'm listening so dang hard!
Also, it's dieseling when I shut it off hot now. Is this a timing issue or because I leaned out the carb or none of the above?
I'm gonna keep tweaking the mixture until I can max out the vacuum - hadda take a break to grab a glass of JD, it's freakin hot out there!
I'll still be taking it to a shop to put it on a dyno but half the dang fun of owning the old girl is screwin' with her!
Boy, hope my wife doesn't read this she'll think I'm talkin' about her!
THX.
