I'm saving the WOT for after I get an exhaust the doesn't scream "Hey Fuzz, I'm over here!

You'll see I found the mechanical advance was bad. Now that I have it working, I can get the car to idle smooth and stable at 700RPM without issue. I think replacing the sloppy rotor made a big difference there too. I have good vacuum. I would check compression, but I can't find the hose portion of my gauge.

I still need to adjust my clutch. After I replaced transmissions a while back, I never adjusted the clutch fork. The pretty red light keeps yelling at me!
