Idle isn't quite right, Blah. Options

[corsepervita]

Well, installed new points, set dwell, set timing to 27btdc.

The car runs better than it ever has and it feels fantastic. Of course, it's still a bit cold blooded till it warms up and finicky till warmup temps arrive.

The car has never quite had a perfect idle. After setting the dwell and timing, I decided to try the idle screw, which had absolutely no effect on the idle at all. In fact, I could entirely remove it and it did nothing.

Here is a video of the car idling.

I mean the car runs smoothly. It accelerates fine. It feels fine. The Idle is low and doesn't seem to care whether or not I adjust the idle. It literally just sits there where you see it on the tach. It starts this way and runs this way hot or cold. Obviously after the car exists high idle, but high idle works fine.

I will clarify, this did not change after I set timing and dwell, the idle has been this way for a while and has not changed. Even after new vacuum lines, injector seals, fixing vacuum leaks I could find, it has not changed. Someone some time ago mentioned mixture and to try a small correction on my ECU. My ECU does not have a POTs system on it, so I cannot do that, it's an early '70. Which also baffles me as to how one would "change the mixture" if that is the case.

Try changing your plugs to the NGK BR5ES to see if that helps.

I believe I'm running BP6ES at this time. Should I be running something different?
