It diesels with idle set low, even 800 RPM.
Compression ratio is estimated because of the dished pistons. The heads are 1970 4V 351C D0AE closed chamber 62.8cc. I might try Autolite 24 spark plugs.
A vacuum leak is a possible root cause. The engine idles with 14 inches vacuum. I worked on another similar engine and it had 17 inches. I will start looking for a vacuum leak.
Thank you all.
