Reply to "Checking Valves"

Gordon,

There has to be some black magic going on with carburetors - there doesn't isn't any other reasonable explanation.

So if I drop the electronic ignition in place and the car starts running lousy, that's when I pull out the timing light and attempt to set the timing, right? Does resetting the timing often lead to having to tweek the carbs too - that would be a slippery slope for me.

In a worst case scenario, could I just put the points and condenser back on and the car would run fine again? To get to an air cooled mechanic is an hour drive for me, so I can't have the car coughing and sputtering.
