Ok, second drive started off fine, oil light no flicker when she's cooled off..

Sounds:

1. Lean

2. Over Advanced

How many clicks off of black smoke is your mixture set @?

It feels now like it wants to be shifted just under the power curve, and it pings in a 200 rpm range starting at 3k.

Maybe I can string together an a/f meter from paperclips, and dustmites?

I hope the oil flicker isn't bad bearings... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

62 miles isn't better than 4800..

Pelican sells a 043 for 74-76 2.0L for $725

I have a few good units that have been tested and recalibrated for $200.
