Thanks! I'm having fun getting it back on the road. Before I bolted the Quadrajet back on I pulled the distributor and chucked it up in my old Sun distributor tester. When I spun it up I was getting 18° advance at 6000 RPM.
After cleaning and oiling the advance weights and installing lighter springs I now have 18° mechanical advance all in at 3200 RPM. I also installed a new "B1" vacuum advance can with a limiter set to 16°. It's still running points which is fine with me. I set the initial advance at 18° giving me a total advance of 36°.
A new kit in the Quadrajet stopped the pig rich problem it was having.
It fired right up and idled smooth. After some minor carburetor adjustments I took it for a test drive. The old 350 is running great and is much more fun to drive after the tune-up.
Next on the list is fix the fuel and temperature gauge, new tires, and a wheel alignment. After that i will tackle the air conditioning.
