by a the idle screw being screwed in too far as to keep the engine running at idle is what your thinking?
yup
360
What's the correct way to set the carb up baseline. I have a 2bbl not a Holley. Two screws at the front, I've bottomed them out (gently) and then do 2.5 rotations out, that's what I was tought anyway. The I adjusted the idlespeed (only slightly was pretty well on still) to 700RPM.
The vac advance still kils the car and port I'm using, the only port there is, is aprox 1.5 inches directly above the butterfly on the back, it still has vacuum. I haven't measured it yet but it's enough to suck my finger on it and left unplugged obviously makes the engine run at higher RPM.
Maybe a picture would help?
I'd really like to get teh vac advance working on this thing as I do so much city driving and gas costs and arm and a leg here.
Imagine paying 8 dollars a gallon. That'l piss ya off..
