Attempt to Pay Back # 2

Update,

Distributor is in. First thing I notice is a bunch of slop. I can turn the rotor like 5 degrees!!! That can not be good. So I guessed at the timing and fired her up. Started like a charm. Idling real fast. Sure enough 40 degrees initial. So I backed it down to 30 and started tweating the idle and mixture to get the best vacuum at around 1000 RPM. Looks like around 10 " is where it ends up. Hard to tell though the vacuum needle bounces between 12 " and 8 ".

I revved it up and I am not getting as much mechanical as I expected. I suspect I need to go to lighter springs to get full advance at 3000 RPM. All in all I am pretty happy. I think the slop in the distributor drive may need some attention though.
