I talked with my carb guy and he's a bit afraid that he's got too much idle air bleed in the carb itself which is a simple repair, but one that he'll need to do at his shop. For now, I'm going to try to turn the idle air mixture screws in a half turn and see what that does to the RPM and AFR at idle, then test on the way home.

It's funny because if going by the seat of the pants feel, the car drives GREAT... No hiccups at all, in the old days we would have left it as is...but by watching the data I can tell it's off in a few places and by dialing those in it'll only get better.

Man... I've had fun driving this thing around the last few days though. HUGE increase in upper RPM power. This was a much needed upgrade over the ignition and carb I was running before.
