What would a jumpy tach, poor starting when cold, and occasional backfires through the carb be? Most of the ignition has been replaced as well as the timing set.

Where can you still get DR rods? I tried GM parts but it doesn't list it anymore.

Backfires are usually ignition related. Carbs dont really start all that well in cold wether. Is the tach jumping with the engine or are is it just moving all by itself?

The tach moves by itself and only lasts until the service engine light comes on and then it is fine.
