Thanks for all the feedback guys!  Got the timing all dialed in today, I am
going with 3 degrees btdc. The idle has improved. I didn't really have to
use My timing light, Started to tune by my tach, till I got around
850rpms.  Double checking with my strobe showed it as 8 degrees advance.
minus the 5 degrees the mark represents gave me the above.  Now lets see
how this will affect mileage, it shure accelerates somewhat better.

ThANKS FOR making this weekend go smoother.
