Dr. Paul: JW offered advice while I was finding out what was wrong with my car. Several people helped me find the problem and increase the HP. I don't know if anyone has offered a check based on initial start-up idling rpm. It might help if you included a link to JW's suggestion.

Timing at 6000 rpm: Using a fixed timing light, you can estimate the timing at 6000 rpm. You can do this by measuring 10 degree increments and marking it on the pulley with nail polish or paint. It's better to get an adjustable timing light.



My 6000 rpm timing: I have estimated it to be near 35 degrees BTDC without vacuum advance and with 10-15 degrees BTDC at idle.
