Doesn't matter how much you "fine tune" ignition timing, with the distributor, when the carburetor adjustment for idle can't even be close to right.

Your first timing chain pic showed crank gear was off at least two teeth. That is not a degreed cam it was some ones mistake. As posted earlier...Does appear that you have it right now.

Clay,
Do you really think that someone who assembled this whole engine from a kit couldn't get the dots lined up? Seriously? You are very stubborn.

On top of that you think that something as simple as 'idle' was stopping me from tuning it? I would be inside the car with my foot on the gas. Not just letting the idle screw do everything.
