Thanx for the info, EARN, will take that advice (hopefully won't have to).

Thank you Richard. Nice to know that my carb is at least in the ball park. Not many adjustments I can make. I have a new timing light, got it at 6 b now, will retime after setting the points. Haven't had any luck with a dwell meter yet. I've never set points before, but the plan is to get on one of the high points on the lobe and use feeler gauges going for 019. Hopefully that will get me close.

Was going to use the vacuum gauge to fine tune it, someone mentioned a plug in the manifold that I can tap into, gonna check, otherwise that's a no go. Also happy that my vacuum is not wack, being 0 at idle was a shock. Never worked on a carb without a port for a vacuum gauge that I could use. I was looking forward to that, lots of things can be learned from the vacuum gauge.

My timing light is new, but it's a cheap harbor freight, so I got my fingers crossed.
