With regard to; "My nose says the fuel burn at idle was improved (less rich smelling)",
most likely the fuel mixture was not set correctly and "smelling" hardly suffices for

Dave,

I think the tipoff that my methods were completely and utterly unscientific should've been the use of the phrase "butt dyno".

I knew precisely what the dwell was prior to and after switching to the MSD. If I knew of a local shop that actually had a CO meter, I would've had the CO checked, but I don't know of one.

You should look into getting that corn cob removed from your sphincter.
