Car shuts off when put in drive

The youtube video is good with an excellent explanation, EXCEPT, they don't tell you how to arrive at an optimum initial timing setting. Saying 12* initial is a good setting, then saying 19 might be ok for a rowdy cam may work in some cases. Best to have the tools available to set it right, then get the distributor dialed in for the rest, mechanical advance/curve.

Bottom line, if you have your car running at idle and you twist some more advance into the engine, and it picks up RPM, it wants the additional advance at idle. Some people feel running a lot of initial is bad. Bunch of ways to skin a cat.

Yeah if the choke is closed up and it's running fat, you'll have issues. Need everything to act in concert.
