Double check your firing order just to make sure you didn't slip a wire on the wrong plug...sometimes it is very easy to do.

i guess thats possible... but if that were the case atleast 2 would be wrong and that would seemingly cause more problems than i have

check the order
vacume advance could be sticking
may wana check the actuall metal tubes sticking out of the carb
some loosen and can pull out a bit changing hoses

and i think you may need to be still advanced
i think I'm up over 10 now...i just changed my distributer
runs better

Spray a little penetrant on the vacuum lines to see if there leaking the idle will change if it is, I would also recheck your firing order just incase 2 got swapped.

thanks for all the help everyone. but the factory recomends 4 degrees advanced (to reduce emmissions) i know advancing it further will increase power and even economy though so i will do that
