Ok, put in a campu-fire pointless ignition, new wires, plugs, cap, and rotor. I've read up on PP about adjusting timing and it says to set mine at 7 degrees BTDC with vaccum advance unhooked and plugged. The timing is checked at 800-900 rmpm at the idle set point (unlike the 1.7 and 2.0 timing methods). Good air filter.
My plans once I buy a tach today to go with my timing light is to warm the engine up and then: set the timing adjust the idle speed--Where is the Idle speed screw? anything else I should check or adjust? Also, on an L-jet there is a knob on the front driver's corner of the engine compartment near the air box and relay. What is this knob for? I turned it like a knuckle-head and now I'm not sure where it should be. Appreciate your help Attached image(s)
