Well here's the latest. Hooked up a vacuum gauge to the manifold, tachometer, and timing light. timing is a 20 degrees btdc, idle speed at 8500 rpm, adjusted primary jets to gain maximum vacuum (about 20 hg) then leaned it out just a bit to get rpms to drop slightly. This is supposed to be right according to the carb manual. The plugs look good just smells rich. I am running muffled side pipes and the collectors may have a leak. I am wondering if that is where the rich smell is coming from. As for driveabilty, it runs well. With a 3:08 rear I'm not breaking any quarter mile times but it runs well.
