OK Skinny, finally got around to checking everything out.

I set the timing to about 8 BTC this was while in park and the RPMs at around 850-900

I measure vacuum at the front upper port on the car where it is currently connected and I got about 18 just as you said...I also tested a lower port on the drivers side and it was a touch higher - guessing this is manifold vacuum.

I was also able to get the engine to react to adjustment screws more action from the passenger side than the driver side.

I lowered the idle so its about 800 in P and 500-550 in D. It seems much more dialed in and I thought I had it all figured out when I noticed the RPMS would climb to 1,000 after driving around a while in Drive and no throttle...I was able to bring this down to 500 ish again with a few WOT pulls - so I'm thinking something is sticking?

Also it died on me in the driveway (thankfully) while in D, however I was able to start it right up and drive into the garage.

So I've made progress but it needs some more fine tuning, any suggestions or input is appreciated!

At this point I'm thinking a Carb rebuild might solve some of my problems.
