Called friend, made deal, air gap coming tomorrow.

Just for S&G cleaned up old 850.Got it to idle down quite a bit, maybe 900-1000 now, sounds pretty good, still ragged.10-11 inches of vac.Idle screws out like 2&1/2 turns, revs quick, sounds strong.Still dies when I put in gear.Started right up, shut right off, tried to tune timing further (mistake!) with vacuum gauge, got a little more vac. out of it (12") but motor did not sound as happy.Still dies in gear.
Also starting to think I may NOT have used a factory high stall, as the sticker was long gone.
I should still (I hope)be able to make this work, as it doesn't seem all that rocky a cam.
More later.Crabby.
