Yes, my fluke measures duty, dwell, etc. Just dont know how to hook it up.
Will check the green manual again, but don't remember seeing it there.

Very good point. I should yank the dizzy and check for bushing wear.
Rebushing is pretty easy.
I am also concerned becasue I know that the PO changed out the timing chain.
I have an 8:1 head and am running hightest right now, but if I go any more
advanced then tdc it pings on load.

Yes, I can enrichen the mixture and can back off on the idle. When I
rebuilt the carb I removed the brass plug that is on the outside of the carb
for the idle ports. Soaked the body in a carb tank over night. I replugged
with a brass plug and then blew compressed air through the ports. Finsihed
rebuilding the carb. No difference in idle :-(
Guess I could pull it all back off again and recheck. Maybe try some thin
copper wire through the circuit. Wont spend too much time with it though,
the Pierce and DVG will be here Thursday.
Thanks for the info
Pete
