Guys today I ......
* Got a Innova timing/dwell/rpm gun.
*Got the timing perfect
*Adjusted rpm at idle to 450 or so using low speed adjusting screw. Do you adjust your rpm after warm or cold?
*Tried to tune carb idle to 18-20 vacuum but I couldn't get it any higher than 16. Super steady at 16 really no fluctuation. Is this something I should worry about? Why wouldn't it go higher? Did I miss a step?
*I noticed the exhaust never really comes out of the drivers side tail pipe. I will even manually open the heat riser and still not really feel anything.The pic of the exhaust shows a drip from the drivers side muffler. How long does it take for the heat riser to open? Is this normal?
Thanks for the help guys!
