Performance timing

Simple, Leave the vacuum advance can TOTALLY out of this for now. DO NOT HOOK IT UP. That problem is solved.

You go from step one to step 5 back to step two, all over the place.

Get the idle squared away FIRST. Try it at 15-18 BTDC is park and about 800 rpm if possible. Pull it in gear and see where the idle rpm drops and if the timing stays static. You DO NOT want it pulling timing out when it goes in gear. That should be your FIRST mission to accomplish.
