tryin to break in new engine, ruff idle

harvenator said

A couple of things I noticed as I went through this thread:
1) Are your new wires copper? That is a no-no with a lot of electronic ignitions.
2) Is your fuel pump old. Older pump diaphragms are not meant for the new crap gas and disintegrate. You may be getting crap in your filter and impeding fuel flow.
3) Have you checked the coil? A lot of times coils will act up only after they are hot.
4) Gap on your dizzy .008?
5) Plugs gapped at .045? Electronic ignitions usually like a wider gap than normal.

Thanks for your input harvenator.
1) My plug wires are new 8mm Accel from autozone. I still have the box so I'll check if they're copper, cuz I don't really know.
2) I'm running a clear fuel filter and it still looks clean. Fuel pressure has been good.
3) Coil is new Accel (higher voltage output than stock I thnk)
4) spent alot of time getting dizzy gapped exactly at .008.
5) I gapped at .035 like my manual said. You think I should go .045?

PS - I still cant ignore how much the motor smoothed out when I choked it manually.
