Finished up the install of the crossram in the '64 yesterday and I want to throw this out there as a refresher for me.
I am still struggling with getting it to idle below 1200 without oscillation. in other words, the engine will idle up then down, back and forth between ~1300 and 900 rpm. the only way to get it to smooth out is idle it up, out the idle circuit.
I'm running about 34* initial and 9* mechanical for a total of about 43-44*. I've heard somewhere that I should set initial at about 43* and 9 mechanical for about 52* total which will allow lower Idle; and then balance the Idle screws, then the mixture screws, starting with the Drivers side carb.
Opinions/input/observations and questions welcomed and encouraged....
Thanks,
Mike
