Ok, one more question in this thread. Since setting the timing to38 degrees at 4,000 rpm (it gets to 38 at 3,000 rpm and stays there) it does not seem like the engine de-accelerates very fast. The RPMs seem to stay there even with the throttle released. Accelerating up is no issue, but I would like to tone down the idle a bit and cannot seem to do that. It wants to idle at 1100 RPM. I am using the same size bushings on the distributor as before and the heavy silver springs. Attached below is the MSD chart that shows the settings.
