No, thanks for jumping in Dave, that's why I moved this to a stand-alone post so I wasn't hijacking Packwagon's thread. If what you are saying is correct, then I would be at 6-7 degrees on the light and that is awful close to spec timing!!, right??
My carb was leaking, which it did when I bought it right out of the box, so I gave it to a carb specialist up here and he has rebuilt it for me. I pick it up tomorrow, I will then reassemble everything and recheck the timing and post my findings. As one would expect, the rebuild guy had all kinds of negatives to report on how the carb was 'supposedly' rebuilt by the last guys, blah, blah, blah... and all I really care about is the damn thing works and doesn't leak gas all over the place- we'll see>?!?!? I initially replaced the carb that was on the car when I bought it with a rebuild and with all the trouble I was having getting the car to run properly, bought a second rebuild (thinking maybe the first one was bad) and now have had THAT one rebuilt, so now well over a thousand dollars in carbs, maybe, just maybe, this one will work!!!
