    Need Help With Off-Idle Surge

    It is coming in too soon. If you insert the mity-vac or vacuum gauge with T- inline, you can see what is happening to the ported vacuum. There is a release trigger on a mity-vac that will bleed the vacuum for testing. Tekslk, has a good idea, but the mity-vac will give you the numbers you need...

    Need Help With Off-Idle Surge

    I think you are getting too much vacuum advance. When the throttle is cracked the ported vacuum comes in, the advance speeds up the RPM. When you open the throttle more the vacuum drops reducing advance, and that works. If there is screw in the vacuum advance you can adjust to limit the...

    Super hot headers at idle!!

    Increase the base advance by 5 to 10 degrees and see what happens at idle. Most likely the idle mixture will need to be leaned, and the mechanical advance limited for high RPMs. After the timing change it might be possible to lower idle speed by 100 to 200 RPM.
