geezer#99, ill give it a try.

69gmc292, yea the balance should be set, I used the napkin in1cyl spark plug hole method. Lined up at 0 just fine.

As far add the engine goes I'm not too sure, I had the head off and put in new valves, push rods, and rocker arms 2 months ago. Compression in the cylinders were consistanly 150 and the tranny and clutch worked so i stopped there for now.

I am going to unbolt the distributor tomorrow and play with it a bit based on your alls' recommendations. Would it be better to be as retarded as possible at idle to make room for the vac advance?
