Reply to "Idle adjustment DRLA 40s"

We went through the spark plugs and they looked consistent and perfect; which tells me the jetting and mix are fine. We cleaned, re-gapped and re-installed them since they didn’t have that much mileage. We adjusted the timing, due to my mishap with the Pertronix module inside the distributor coming loose. Finally, we also installed a new anti-pulse valve on the distributor vacuum hose, which we sourced at Aircooled.net. I haven’t had a chance to drive it much since but for the short time that I drove it last for a gas station fill-up nearby it felt better and it idles a little lower. Not sure if it’s a placebo effect but as I drive it more I’ll report on the findings.
