I will definitely discuss all the timing settings with install mechanic. He is a great mechanic...not a Mopar guy, but still great mechanic. I am certain he had a light on it and vacuum gauge, but this distributor is a Mopar performance with the orange box, so maybe other changes will help? I would be willing to spring for new ignition if it would help alot, and at least that wouldn't require getting into internals of new engine.

I'd love it if tweaking the carb adjustments brought it down some! I think maybe the timing is a little off of the suggestions of builder. We shall see!
