 Well let me be the first to attest to how well these engines will start and idle with the #1 and #2 plug wires reversed.

Having proven that, and corrected the firing, I set up the balancing gauges and started again.

With the carbs double checked and the Spec 5 jetting in place, and everything balanced, I'm stoked that the car is idling beautifully and has no bogging coming off idle. It sounds great. A/F at idle is about 13.5. Oil pressure seems good.

I've set the advance at idle at 14* and will tinker with that on the road but all sounds great.

I've got an odd fuse blowing in the gauge power circuit That I'll need to track down. The car has a Speedway 12 circuit harness in it that has nothing on this circuit but 12V supply to the temp, fuel, and voltage gauges. Should not be overloaded....

Thanks Tim and all for help to this point.
