Tom
Thank you. I put the other zenith on that I rebuilt and the idle was better. Then I checked the rotor gap and yes they were not even. I set the largest gap to the correct gap and had to file the other contacts to match. It idles much better but somehow the timing has changed as now the full retard position doesn't lope the engine. I'll re time her tomorrow and see how she runs.

Thanks everyone for the great advice.
