I determined that it was misfiring on CYL #1 by while it is running, pull off the s/plug wire and it didnt change the idle speed, it would however change if I held it close to the plug to make it fire. When adjusting the points by loosing up the screw on the bracket and inserting a screw driver to adjust the points, the whole points assy moves not just the part that contacts the cam on the distributor. I did check for vacuum leaks around the intake manifold by using WD-40 while it was running and it didnt change the idle one bit. the distributor in it is only two months old but dad and I think that it is no good and also he thinks the acclerator pump in the carb is bad also.
