Working out the Kinks of a Fresh Engine

10 degrees TOTAL? That's a parts killer. Get 40 on it to break it in.

If it's rich at idle, backing the screws out will make it richer.

Need to see where Mason county is. If it's not 10 PM I tell the neighbors to eat crap. They don't pay my bills.

Just another of many reasons I live in the country.

I'm going to get the "stock" metering rods and back the screws in to lean it out some. And we attempted to do timing, but we were preoccupied with trying to get the car to run at 2000rpm and didn't get to fiddle with timing. For sure I'll bump that up, I realize it's too little.

As for the neighbor... We are renting currently and the neighbor has been real cool with us (owns a 69 Charger himself...) so we decided it can be continued after work.
