I'm not sure what other mods it has, I bought it like this pretty much. The only thing I've done is buy a set of valve covers with baffles for the PCV as the set that was on it before wasn't baffled.

I haven't adjusted the carburetor. To be honest, I've never adjusted a carburetor. Do I need to set that before I set the timing to get the idle down for timing like you mentioned? Would it be worth it to get a carburetor with an electric choke or some other type of automatic choke? I've never had a manual choke on a car, so I have no clue how to play with the choke cable except for choke to start, no choke to run, and maybe partial choke to warm up. Eventually I would like to get a TBI kit, but those are way out of my price range right now, but I could probably fit a $300 - $400 carb in the budget.

I appreciate all the insight and assistance geezer#99. Please keep it coming!
