On my A-series 210. Electronic dizzy, MSD ignition, Weber 32/36
I noticed when helping my friend set the timing on his Chevy that my timing light was off, which meant my car was off. Went and picked up a new inductive timing light, and found my timing was about 16 degrees btdc, and re-adjusted to the FSM spec of 5 degrees. Made a shit ton more power, but now has trouble idling. I've re-adjusted it now to about 900RPM idle, and it still won't idle. If I turn on my headlights, it will drop to 400RPM and stall at idle.
All this was done with the engine warm @ 180degrees after an hour of driving. I can't imagine how bad it's gonna be after cooling off
I really don't wanna advance the timing again, because it seemed like with advanced timing it ran like shit compared to now.
I've already pulled the idle jet and cleaned it, replaced all the ign components recently (cap, rotor, plugs, wires, etc) and can't seem to figure out why it won't idle where it should be.
