Hi Tom,

I will try your suggestion. I too would have thought that a too rich idle would be causing the problem. Vacuum gauge was reading as high a steady reading as I could get.

I am really considering that the initial timing may be the problem. When they installed the engine, I was told that they set the initial at 12. I think it may need to be higher to assure that all the fuel is being burnt at idle.

Unfortunately my timing light does seem to be compatiable with the MSD 6A box.
Until I find time to get a new one, I may just try the old SBC method and just advance the timing until the engine won't start and back it off a little.
Thanks,

Bud
