Not knowing any better and pre-forum, I had set timing to TDC. Seemed to run fine. have a few hundred miles since then and now it's missing a bit and real soft backfire when cruising and I let off the gas. This morning I found a "maybe" loose plug wire (driver rear) but I figure I want to get the tune correct.
Heading to get a tach and gonna tune her up...any other tools beside a timing light and feeler gauge?
Question1: Should I buy a dwell meter? or just adjust the points?
Question2: Suggested RPM?
Question3: Difference between the two idle screws?
Question4: What should the timing be set at?
Question5: When I turn the mixture screws, one has no effect...Guess a carb rebuild is next but not today so what do I do with that screw for now? I know not to tighten it too much to avoid damage
Tried the FSM but for some reason it's not clear to me and I am hoping someone can give me a quick step by step.
As always, thank you for all assistance
Regarding the timing, lately
