I agree with Kurt. Set the points at 30 and the timing at aroound 12 at idle. Try to have your distributor guy bring the advancement in around 2,500 to 2,800 rpm's. That will be easy once you have the distributor on the machine and redo the curve. I say run some R44 plugs or that equivalent gaped at 32 and set the valves cold at about 25 lash. Make sure carb is not leaking and I would change the fuel filters too. 302's are lazy not matter what unless you change some gearing around. Of course fresh gas with maybe a couple gallons of high octane &quot;leaded&quot; fuel mixed with 93.
