Tom,
I did get a kit from Mr. Gasket, but the bushings and weights wouldn't fit on the pins under the rotor. I did install the lightest springs and it helped a bunch.

But, I'm concerned. Is it possible that inorder for me to be at 35 degrees total timing (base + mechanical) that I have to have the base timing set to 12 to 14 degrees advanced?
I ask because that is where I'm at now and it runs best there and my vacuum is highest there. I think my mileage is best there also, but I my idle is too high, 875-900 (which doesn't bother me.)

FYI - currently my mechanical advance is in full at aprrox 2400 rpms. My only dilemma is that I'm running 67mph at 2250 (the 33" tires are being replaced soon!)

Also, wondering if my vacuum is correct. When on a relatively flat road (low throttle demand) I'm running about 8-10 in of merc at 2300 rpm's. On a grade I can keep it at 6 in.


If at first you don't succeed,
then read the directions and try again.
