You have to get the initial timing right or everything else is pissin in the wind.

Have you checked put the vacuum gauge on it at idle and cranked more initial in it until it stops making more vaccuum? The motor will tell you how much it wants for initial.

Im sure that cam will be in the mid 20s to 30s at idle. Then you will have to limit the total to 34-36ish.

Get the timing right, then start playin with the carb.




Interesting....
I did NOT try advancing the timing at idle any more than I already have. Are you saying that instead of having a 14 degree advance where I set initial at 19 and the total ends up at 33, I should narrow up the total curve? In other terms, an initial of mid 20s with an "all in" of say mid 30s? Wouldn't this make the engine very hard to start?
