Car is killing me
well i started this problem myself but it was a long one...
The car was burning rich so i adjusted by ear and it worked well no more burning rich but jjust in case i hooked up a vacuum gauge and it was really wierd it fluctuateted really fast just a small amount between 16-20 on the gauge.
just to answer some questions that will be asked i unhooked the vacuum advance and plugged the carb off where the advanced was hooked up.... i used the the vacuum off the manifold i tried reving it up and the fluctuations get faster and more spread apart
IM LOST i thought it was the valves so i tried to tighten ot loosen them and now at idle the rpm fluctuates from 650-780 every 2-3 seconds
PLEASE HELP

how to interrupt what your vacuum gauge is telling you.
yours sounds like scenerio 15
