360 Questions.. pardon my ignorance.

I’m expecting to set things a few times and tinker a lot. So questions about the process..

With it stumbling at hot idle should I first adjust the speed screw or the base timing?

Once base idle is established do I adjust the mixture screws for best idle/vacuum before bringing the vacuum can back in?

After all that, I confirm my total timing and limit the distributor weights if necessary?


I have a gauge, I used it in an initial setup where I got the truck running OK from a non-starter when it came home. Now I’m to the point with the truck I’m really digging in and doing the proper process to actually start driving and using it.
You should continue using the vacuum gauge.
