thanks for the input. i ordered a wide band air/fuel gauge the other day so i will be tuning the carb with that. once i get the carb dialed in i can play with timing and find the sweet spot. i know its going to be a process of setting carb, changing timing and resetting carb but it should be alot of fun. I also ordered a log book so that i can keep track of all my changes and the outcomes. I really wanna learn what does and doesnt work. I dont wanna be one of those guys that just throws expensive parts at the car and wonder why it performs sub-par.
