1. tell us about the distributor

vacuum advance yes/no?
stock springs / light springs ?

what do you have the advance set to?

generally you need low teens initial, all in by 4000 rpms, mid/high 30's total advance

they will run like crap at idle if too retarded. or too advanced.

2. vacuum: tell us the stuff you have hooked up.
is everything hooked up or if only some things hooked up do you have the other tits plugged off
do you have everything plugged to the carb in the correct place?
what carb is it?
