Greetings,
If some one can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated! The previous owner didn't take very good care of this car and I'm trying to get everything back the way it should be. I'm now at the point of trying to get the carb adjusted and am having a problem with the dwell. No matter what I do I can't get it to move from "10" on the scale. If you rev the engine it looks like it tries to move but no more than a couple of degrees. It is running lean but there are no vacuum leaks and no codes when I check the ECM(has been replaced twice-no difference). I did rebuild the carb and put all the settings where they are supposed to be with the proper tools. I can cover the carb throat and get a slight increase in idle speed but no change with the dwell either. The O2 sensor has been changed.
I have searched all of the threads that I can find and seem to be missing something. I purchased Corvette 1966-1982 Shop manual and all it has is the cross-fire info, AIM has nothing so any help would be awesome! If I can provide any other info please let me know.
Thank you again!!
Keith
