Fuel in My oil pan

IF you need additional advance at idle other than what you get by clocking the distributor. Then you don't know how to set timing......
The only advance at idle should be set by distributor clocking. Then off idle your vacume/mechanical kick in.

Well, gee, I have 17* BTDC base timing right now. How high would you suggest I go?

It idles really nice with 32* advance (base+vacuum).

This is a good read from a former GM engineer.

Cool. I only have vacume for the highway. It ran better locked out.

Then you don't know how to tune a carburetor.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Nice line there.

Please back up your comment with another page long explanation as to why my carberator is miss tuned. And how the faulty tune makes it apparently run Better when the vacume is locked out......

And also. This has gotten slightly off topic.

I see what HotRod was talking about now LOL Too bad there wasn't a 3rd option to hook up vacuum advance to. Now that would be entertaining!
