Just a little miffed...

thank you for the input gents, theres a few things i forgot to mention and i apologise. the 36 degrees at idle, thats with vacuum advance, wich is hooked into manifold vacuum. no vac adv im sitting at 13 btdc static. 37 all in at 2500-2600 rpm, no vac adv. my idle rpm is 750. with a gauge hooked to the manifold vac port it holds very steady at 18 in. lbs as of last night. As for the choke stove valve in the manifold, its long ghandi, completely. Ill have to do a leakdown and compression test since i havent done that yet. Ill get back with numbers, and ill sea foam the motor to see if theres a leak at the manifold, collector flange, anywhere else. thank you fellas for the input. ill get some comp/leakdown numbers here soon.
