Yeah, I got it last night.
If you are driving around at 34degrees advanced, you are over advanced on that 1.7 and it could lead to issues up to and including melted pistons or broken cranks due to detonation. With the vacuum tubes removed, your timing should be set to 27 degrees on a stock 1.7. Replace the vac tubes before you go driving... With the factory advance, you may loose some of the pep the engine has, as advance is one of the ways you can tune in power - but that power comes at the price of more heat and heat will kill an air cooled engine fast. with the leaks fixed and the timing set you should be able to drive the car like you stole it and have it come back asking for more.
