Okay, the tab on the timing cover goes up to 15, so I guesstimated and set it to 18 degrees initial BTDC. Set the idle back down to 700 rpm. Now getting 17 inches manifold vacuum and idle is cleaner. Took it for a little ride and it is happy; no castanets and easy starting. Will revisit in more detail later and will not be afraid of a more bumpty cam in the future. Thanks.



Cool you got it sorted out.
