Ok, so I'm working on it now. Seeing if I can get it with the original points. I got to assume the carb is ok, it's brand new from summit (rebuild).

setting the timing (i don't have a tach, so I'm ballparking the idle speed. The tag has an O and an A. I just set it to 3 lines north of the 0, towards the A. I'm guessing that's 6 btdc???

Another thing, my only vaccum port is from the carb to the dizzy. I hooked it up to a vacuum gauge and get 0 at idle. I can rev it some and get 15 pretty without going too high. This seems wrong, shouldn't I get some idle vacuum?

Hard to start, even warm, but seems to idle ok once running.

One other thing, compression test all just over 120, #5 is 90. same reading wet (with oil). Hoping that is livable.

advice appreciated.
