Mike you said something about the carb being to lean, i have checked it for leaks, no leaks, i even put .98 jets in the secondaries from the .95. it still does it. It damn sure aint lean on the idle cercuit cause i still cant get it to lean out any there. i get it set right where it is smooth idling (to make a long explanation short, i know how to adjust a carb) and it still burns my eyes. but that aint y problem at this point.

I'm thinking ELGRACHO maybe right about the H/B slipped, cause if something else would be wrong it would have the clatter all the time. i can set the timing marks at TDC and the clatter is gone.I get good milage, drivability, and performance. with it set where it is right now, it dont break the tires as easy, it stll will but not as easy. it sounds like it is too far advanced. i guess my next adventure is a H/B. well after i get a tranny for the daughters 89 ACURA INTEGRA. I KNOW ITS A RICER BUT SHE IS 17 AND YOU KIDS NOWADAYS, YOU CANT TELL THEM ANYTHING.

You asked if i drove it with the advance disconnected, yes and it still had the clatter.i think im gonna back track alittle today and with both blue springs keep backing the timing off till the clatter stops, then replace one of the silver springs and see what happens from there.
Then i will start with the advance can. do you think i should with it locked out on the second notch and still the 9 turns ?

I GUESS THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE A MATCH IN THE GAS TANK
