Car dies in gear...

Ok so I finally got around to putting the dailback light on the dart and found some strange timing...

30 degree advance at idle and 37 at 2,700...

I have no idea how that was even working and remember I haven't timed this car in 6 or 8 years so it's been running like that for a LONG time...

I reset the timing to 10, 27 and drove that sucker to the gas station!!

Just now Im realising that I set the timing with the vaccum advance hooked up so I'll pull the advance and check it again.
Of course I have to leave in like a half an hour to go to a graduation party with my lady and we have plans tomarrow so shiza. This weekend is shot but I was able to drive the car!!

Next I'm gonna reset the timing, pull the carb and reset it and see if it works..

Just goes to show, always check the stuff you think can't be a problem any way, like trans fluid and timing....

Epic face palm........
I'm gonna go hide for a while and feal very stupid.......

Thanks again!
Glad you didn't go out and buy a torque converter. When you bring the timing back, your idle RPM is going to decrease. Open the secondaries to compensate.
