It's a joy to drive, and I'm so lucky. We all are. But, while the plugs look good, I puff black smoke on shifting at 3000+ rpms. Perfection eludes me, but I'll keep looking. I could replace my jets, but that just seems like such a shot in the dark. I could conceive of a situation where I got off by one link on the timing chain on rebuild, but I don't think I did. However, two points: a) my distributor vacuum unit sits parallel to the block whereas most point several degrees left; and b) even if I were one link off, the timing is dead on, and I think you can compensate for being a link off, given the flexibility to adjust timing at the distributor. If anyone has a thought (I've troubled you all about enough) I'd like to hear it.
