After Change of Wires and plugs...
It idles at 600 in drive and 600 in park before it idled at 700 in drive and 1100 in park. What could I have done? Or what could be the culprit?
Thanks, Gary

Is it smooth at 600 RPMs? If so then you may have fixed a problem

Somewhat it seems a little smoother but it should be at a higher idle in park, it almost dies when i put it in gear now. I think someoff it is timing just have to find out in a little bit. and it seems like something is holding it back at part throttle.
Thanks, Gary

What did you set the plug gap to? Mine makes a big difference just between 0.035" and 0.045", it likes the 45 much better.
