George, I'm still working on the problem. So far I've found several rocker arms loose and a spark plug insulator cracked top to bottom. I checked the idle stops and adjusted them per instructions. The power valve was replaced with a 3.5. The Demon's instructions differentiates on adjusting the idle stops based on idle speed. I think above it, the secondary is shut and below 1000 the primary and secondary are adjusted open the same amount. I might have these backwards. Just to make sure I'm not all backasswards, if the distributor turns counter clockwise, turning it clockwise will reduce the advance, right? (closer to TDC) Hopefully I'll be able to play with it a little more tomorrow, weather permitting.
