I have the idle mixture screw turned out to about 5 turns. it is kindof getting better, but I can imagine that isnt the real problem.
Thanks, Bash

Did you have a chance to recheck teh timing? You need to check/set it with the vacuum supply line disconnected and blocked on the carb side. Come to think about it, wasn't 76 a vacuum retard dizzy? Sounds like the timing is way high to me, just like my hotrod days. We used to jack it way up for top end, but it was nearly impossible to get off the stop signs.
On another note, 5 turns out on the idle mix sounds a bit much. Typical is 2-3, but anything is possible. I count a turn as 360 degrees. I know some folks count 180 as "a turn". John
