Spark Plug Advice Needed

RustyRatRod said

From the beginning of time, everyone I have ever known with any smarts has always, always, ALWAYS said Carburetor FIRST and then timing. Then usually zoom in on the carburetor after that. That's how I've done it a very long time and it's always worked well. Different folks do different stuff, though.

That’s right. You don’t slam an *** load of timing to an engine when it’s running raw fuel through it at idle.

There is no logic or even reasonable thinking there, but Vizard said it so it must be.

Again, the OP isn’t low on compression and he isn’t over cammed so why 30 at idle? Because Bewy says that Vizsrd says it’s what to do?

And he keeps arguing his error.

I’ll say it this way. You don’t fix a rich idle condition with initial timing. Ever.

You get some fuel out of it at idle. Or get some more air to it at idle. But running a bunch of timing at it is dead wrong.
