I don't know much about the engine only what i have done.It wouldn,t idle well has autotrans.I put a new timing chain no change,new carb,better but not good.other dist,wires,It sounds like it got a hot cam, running good down road.Has duals and sounds even on both sides.The vacumn is only 14 says late timing.I have moved the timing with no change.This may sound crazy but ,could the intake have problems, gasket in middle 4 cylinders with the exhaust cross over.Its not leaking on outside.Looks like a junk yard motor not very clean.
