How to read carb calibration chart?

Replying to multiple of your posts,
The distributor is vacuum and mechanical, but I don’t have the vacuum hooked up yet, and I don’t know what the advance is at 3k, I set the base at 17 and went with it. I recently got a new timing light though so I can actually figure this out now. The car drives pretty good but looks like a diesel bro at a tractor pull when I think about using the throttle pedal. I had the car running a few years ago but decided to pull the engine to fix some things. The carb sat dry in its box until about a year ago but I’ve started it on a regular basis. I also went through the carb a couple of months ago to make sure it was good to go.

with your timing light you'll be able to see where your curve is once it's well warmed up of course you can rub it up to about 3 Grand or so and you can see where the timing will stop advancing and that's your all in or highmark.. and then you can let it drop down to idle and see where it is and that's how much mechanical advance you have... Post Mopar I've came across generally like to be somewhere in the 34 to 36 degrees of advance all In.. your results May vary LOL.. that's what they talk about when they talk about distributor curve.. also how fast it happens... All of these things can be manipulated to make your car run better for your desired driving characteristics... if you're happy with the idea that your float needles are not sticking open for any reason then I would start on the leaning out Trail..
