The only thing I ever heard them say was "snap".... or, was it "crackle" ... hmm, maybe "pop'.
What do these spark plug say?

well glad everyone is having fun with the thread.
I ran some new vacuum hoses to the brake booster , vacuum canister and my gauge I have mounted on the dash. This really seem help my park to drive idle. It would drop about 400 rpm and my vaccum would drop probably 5". Now it's more like 200rpm and maybe 1" of vacuum. I found a hole in the "T" fitting I was using.
The idle still did see to have a constant fluctuation though. I pulled the cap off the distributor everything appeared fine. I pulled the rotor off and grabbed the reluctor and gave it a twist moving threw the mechanical advance . I noticed a had a tiny bit of play. The key holding reluctor in place seemed to be loose allowing for a tiny bit of movement. I made a new one it of old Allen key and then set the air gap to the pick up. Havent had a chance to fire it up yet though. Will update when I do

So started up the car ... everything running pretty good. But as I was setting the timing I noticed it start miss, then just died on me. It would fire right back up but would die again with no real apparent reason. I pulled the new Ecoil and noticed something seemed to be rattling inside. Not a good thing ! Called up summit and a new one is on the way. In thr mean time i swapped back to the orange ecu and street fire coil ( the beauty of this swap is I can change it back in about 15 mins ). I took the car for drive with original setup and it ran like a top except for running rich and strong fuel smell was back . But it did not die or misfire at all. So this at least tells me the problem is with the coil or module . My bet is the rattle can coil I got

Sounds like your floats are too high or a needle is stuck.
Are the plugs numbered?
One is rich
One is lean
One is ok at cruise
Down inside is WOT that looks rich
Timing looks good
Where are the other 5?
.
Is the dark one from 3,4,5,or 6?

With the HEI mod, be sure you have 12+volts at coil.
I had to use relay as I did not have full voltage even with ballast resistor removed.

The plugs were off the passager side. Just the easier ones to pull at the time.
I know the float levels are good . But I have been wondering about a problem with the front bowl needle. I think am going to pull the carb and check things out .
The coil is getting full system voltage.. 14 ish
