1974 Dart 440 tuning help

Before you do anything else, get a curve of some kind in your distributor. You're pissing away power and torque with the distributor locked out.

As for what your A/F ratio should be...needs to be worked out on a dyno or at the track. Not all sensors read the same. don't tune to a specific ratio. The engine will tell you what it wants if you let it.
I agree, but wasn't going there. And vacuum advance...
