So watch those two when you're "tuning" the AF...
No load idle - should be able to get fairly 'lean' on the AF... but I don't know what motor you're running or cam etc... so the numbers I'm throwing out are just that - numbers.

Thanks Greg, all explantions are helpful right now. The instructions don't really help much from accel and when I do things I know are supposed to be right and when they don't do what I think they would I get to guessing what is wrong with what I am doing. Everyone has given me just a bit more understanding with different info. The engine has a very hot cam in it and the vacuum is never going to be real high. Without the Rhoads X lifters it would be a disaster for the street. It has seemed to really accept a lot of lash with them and I may go to .040 from the .035 they are at now and see if it helps more? It really got a lot better when I went from .030 to .035 so maybe the extra .005 will do better yet. The instruction do say I could push .050 but that seems like a lot to go.
Thanks again I hope to get the wiring done on the wideband this weekend.I am certain that with the instructions they give it will be the usual fun.
