Changing to the hotter plug has resulted in no missing any time I asked it to go all the way to redline. Before it would miss after cruising when I would get on it. It would then clear itself until the next time I got on it. It was very frustrating. This past weekend I changed my timing from 10 deg to 12 deg BTDC and closed the four idle screws from one turn open to 3/4 turn open. The car now starts when cold with only one depress of the gas pedal to set the chock. When starting hot I just turn the key and it starts right up. I have the idle set at 950 to 1000 rpms with no run after the ignition is turned off. Thanks for all the information.
