Quick update. After a couple of weeks of work and chasing electrical gremlins finally got the car running yesterday. Got it to idle, got the timing set. Car runs great above 3000 rpm but like crap from 1700 to 3000. By crap I mean stutters, pops and throws wonderful flames of the exhaust. I believe I am running lean and have already turned the idle mixture screws out past the recommended 7/8 to 1 turn to help the problem. Jim is sending me a richer idle jet tomorrow so hopefully that will get me where I need to be. As far as everything else goes. I have no manifold Coolant or fuel leaks so super happy about that.

Best regards
Byron
