Moved from "FUEL" forum

Here are the problems with this that I see I will have.

1. Where to adjust the timing too? I can get in the "ball park" but what signs are going to be most noticable to let me know I have hit the ideal setting.~ a good starting initial point would be 10degrees BTDC you want no more then 38degrees total.

2. OK say I get the timing where I think it should be, now I move to adjusting the carb mixture screws with a vacuum guage and a tach, but as I adjust them they have in-turn made my RPMs raise or lower and then the TIMING is looking different again with the timing light.~ timing is looking different becouse the idle speed is no longer the same. on eddie carbs, seat the mixture screws completely, then back em' off 1 1/2 turns. good starting point.

3. Say I get the timing and the mixture screws adjusted, so that the timing looks good and the highest vacuum is attained and NOW with those set, it is idleing too high or too low? Once again if I adjust the idle srew it will make the timing look different with a timing light.~ refer to the above answer

I know this is exactly what defines the "ART" of tuning, so maybe Im asking a bit much to be explained to me.~ no worries, we're all here to learn. the choke will still raise the idle speed when engaged.. even if the engine is hot.
I am sure that I have some misconceptions as far as some of this process is concerned please feel free to set me straigt.
Thx guys~ feel straight yet? lol.

now, as far as me being allowed to post here I don't see why not.. i took the BEST SmallBlock ever made and put it into the best Car Body ever produced. cheers.
