Holly carb help

You don't need to have an advance ....and locked out is not only for fuel injection.

More clearly ....the timing locked @36 a is not the cause for the rich condition you have. You can tune for both with or without a curve. Understand that having a curve would bring the timing down at the lower rpms from the 36 now and then steadily raise to the 36...at some rpm, day 2800-3000 where it stalls at, 3500
Less timing is gonna clean up the plugs? No fkn way.lol get the idle back on the primary side and not the secondary like you say you have it idling on.
What I'm trying to figure out is how you mostly drive this car and why was it the way you got it.
The car was a gutted bracket car that they only ran on the track when i got it off my father in law. And i want to have a street/strip car so when i was putting it back together i was trying to use as much of what parts I could to save money for other things that needed fixed.
Hopefully Sunday I can get time to work on it. Ill check the pv again, and i plan on closing down the sec and opening up the pri a little more. Do I just split it between the 2 to get the idle or favor the pri a little more enough to still have adjustment in my corner screws?
