Torque converter affecting idle question

700 is a HUGE difference in RPM from neutral to in gear. Where is your timing at? Why is the cam unknown?

Initial timing?

Give these guys a ribbon!

Funny that the cheapest solution, twist the distributor CCW, helped to solve the issue. The engine may want more initial timing, but, you got it to a point where it works well.

I bet the exhaust at idle doesn't smell nearly as rich as it did before.

Good job!
