Re: Idle issue with 63 chevy

That plug was after a long idle, after getting it running smooth. I should have noted I first thought vacuum leak and sprayed it with wd40 while running. And verified choke was open..
Total advance is 42 in @ 3000, it doesn't ping or rattle so I figured I'm ok there, but can see limiting the vacuum advance wouldn't be a horrible idea. I admit I beat on the old girl harder than I should, all projects in the past have been on the ragged edge of streetability and this is my first effort at a solid driver, and well....some habits are hard to break
Back to today it crunk up fine and after warming up, had a good idle and was drivable, so it either just randomly needed adjusting two days in a row, or it fixed itself, or its gonna show up again at some point, I know what I expect to happen
