Disconnect the vacuum advance for timing?
When I disconnect and plug the vac line, idle goes up, timing advances 15° - wierd. Does the stock dizzy also have a mechanical advance?.
I guessed at Dwell: 50° (standard 4 cyl)
I set timing to 5° BTDC (it was 10° ATDC!) with vacuum advance disconnected, line plugged.
Still sorting out 1K RPM idle (cleaned/adjusted TPS, throttle stop, idle screw). Replaced rotted crankcase breather hose. It's pretty gummy inside, maybe blasting with carb cleaner will help.
Guess I'll start looking for vacuum leaks next.
Ooh, this is one swell project...
