Found my dads original 1971 duster!

Should have said “starts and runs like a champ”. Even after getting warm, shutting off and re starting. Dont even need to touch the gas pedal. We think the timing is now somewhere around 12-15. I’ll be taking it in to a performance shop in the next few weeks to have the carb tuned and the timing dialed in perfectly.

We also discovered that my idle goes up when I push the brake pedal. So that might explain why the brakes feel so horrible to me….maybe a bad brake booster?? Vac leak?? Does this make sense?
Setting timing is very, very simple to do. You need to get a good light and learn to do it yourself. That way, you know what you've done and what you have.
