Ok. Turned it up a little. Idles a little better in gear. I would think a little more would solve the problem.

Yeah. cant get to it. I ultimately had to take the oil filter off. I just loosened the bolt. Gotta throw the filter on. Time it. take off filter..... tighten bolt...... put back on filter. What a blast. Lol

Holy ****. Please tell me theres an easy way to get to this bolt. I totally cannot get to it.

Ah. I gotcha!

When I turn it to "the middle" where should/would the timing be on the tab? I haven't done this yet, but I may just to see if it'll run better.

Yeah, I may do that in the future. Makes more sense that way.

Now that I can actually drive it, I'll be able to get a better sense of whats going on. I'll keep this thread going when I find something. I may take the dist off and see whats up there.

Gotcha. Whats the benefit? Better fuel flow?

I honestly couldn't tell you the difference. I'm use to seeing an MSD pro billet or just a coil pack. Lol

Nope. When I moved it from the metering plate to the base I really didnt notice a difference.

Yeah. It was the same at idle. You think I should try it and drive?

Haha. No problem man.

Well. Just took it for a drive. Runs good, BUT I have to labor it at stops, I have to blip the throttle a tad to keep her up. The idle in gear is like 500 rpm.

I have it at 900 right now. At 850 is where I was getting the vac readings.

I turned the idle mix screws out a bit more. Its staying running in reverse. Its choking up a bit, struggling. But with a little tap on the gas it does stay running........

With the vac on the base plate on the front of the carb I'm getting 17 lbs vac at 850 rpm idle. Seems high?????

Ok. Off to do the vac test. Please explain? Not sure what you mean..

Agree. Only thing is. I'll be doing a swap in the near future. But, obviously I'd love to be able to drive the damn thing before then. I just dont want to dump a ton of money and time into something thats going to be removed.

Ok. Compression test is as follows. Going from front to back. Cyl 1-100 psi Cyl 2-110 psi Cyl 3-110 psi Cyl 4-100 psi Cyl 5-110 psi Cyl 6-90 psi, This is the cylinder where I was getting a lot of the popping from before I advanced the timing. Onto the vac test next. Not really sure where I...

I appreciate all the help. Tune back in tomorrow. Same time, same forum!!! Lol

Yeah. Its ran into the metering block. I'll switch it out tomorrow and see if that helps any.

Ok. Vac gauge first thing tomorrow. And thanks, I love the nice clean look too. It may be for sale soon. Lol

Just for fun. I checked timing with the dist hooked up to the carb and plugged. No change.........IS that right?

Yeah. Id say its in that area. And yes, vac is off the carb.

Ok. The dist will not let me turn anymore to the left. Its like maxed out.

Geez that would be my luck. Lol Ok. Off to crank it up more.

Ok. Raised the front float. Idles much better. But still wont stay running in once put in gear. Turn up timing more?

Yeah. It revs nice and smooth, and comes down and settles the same way.

Its a 390 I'm pretty sure.I havent been able to read my vac yet. Been gone most of the day. You thinking float is too low?

New video. Listen how the motor surges. Note the timing tab. The white mark is how much advanced I am. Valiant idle 2. - YouTube
