Well I'm glad to report that the carbs are now running well.

After a head rebuild and a new carter p4070 fuel pump!

That's what I thought.

I have a webcam grind #144 and they recommend running on stock springs.

I'm thinking these would fit

Does anyone have the stock OEM valve spring values for max seat pressure etc?

I'm actually just going to skip recurving the dizzy and go with an EDIS-4 solution.

Got lucky at a local salvage yard. Now just buy Ideolas trigger wheel and a trip to the hardware store f ...

Dizzy advance should not go to manifold vacuum.

The only way to do this right is to send your dizzy in to be recurved. There is a place here in town that does it quite reasonably:

Thanks for the info.

My car being a 77' with the 77 distributor is a plus. I'll set initial timing at 2 degrees BTDC.

Endwrench recommended hookup the vacuum advance to manifold vacuum for an e ...

I will give that a try.

Any tips on how to and where to hook up the vacuum advance and retard for the distributor?

I am assuming the source for retard can be taken anywhere post carburators. The ...
