Small coolant leak. Looks like it is the heater core which I just bypassed,
Tiem to get it running better. It is variously running rich and lean. Found a leak at the intake gasket for the 40 DCOE. Replaced gasket and the lousy cannon intake manifold for a straight shot. Took a look at the weber. PO had 2 inch runners on it which nearly touched the end plate of the iar cleaner, effectively blocking air flow. Went in and totally rebuilt the carb, re-jetted it, and after some further adjustment of the idle jet, have it running very nicely.
I have a 23D distributor (non vacuum) and spend days trying to find the correct curve. I used the test I could find and advanced the timing some more.
Valves adjusted. Still have some more to do.
