Still haven't figured out the idle issue...

Woops, that's what I get for starting this topic without checking the car first!;)

Here are the car vitals:
Vacuum:19-20
Base timing:12 deg advanced
Idle rpm:around 800, drops when in gear to about 600
Valve lash:12/22
Points gap:.018

Yes, this is a stock motor aside from the carb. The dist was just rebuilt 2 months ago and the running issue was unaffected by that. interesting suggestions! So, PV is out, float level and main jets are in! I'll check them once I get dug out from the blizzard...been on a tractor 2 days straight moving snow!
