CIS-L mixture adjustment w/ dwell meter? (no Bentley w/ me)

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

there is a two pin test plug between the brake booster and the coil, just a pendant cable, that you simply plug your dwell meter into.

The stock RD cam is pretty limp compared to a G grind so that may be all the  power difference. You really owe it to yourself to put in a bigger cam than a G. It'll give you a slightly lumpy idle, but the gain on the top end will more than offset the slight loss of midrange and an ABA or 3A can easily loose a little midrange.

I don't understand your comment about the idle adjuster screw housing. Is this on the TB? If so I can't see how it could cause a leak unless the o-ring on the screw is exposed.
