Subject:85 wbx miss at idle...update =)

Hello list.

    I am happy to update that i have found most of the
poor running at idle problems....The dipstick had
pulled out about 1/2 inch...losing crankcase pressure.
 I stuck back in, and running improved greatly...Also,
after some investigation, All of my Vaccum lines look
like they need replacing.  I re-timed at 0 and that
made it run worse, So i set it to 5 ATDC, and it seems
to be the best spot, I do however get some knock, but
not real bad (I also havent checked the oil in a
while, so i could just be low on oil)
When i first checked the timing it was at 10 ATDC???
   Any suggestions on getting rid of the knock?  Also,
how bout replacing vaccum lines (they are plastic with
rubber ends)
         -Erin
