Thanks for the references. Seems there could be a little reading in my future.

Stupid question #2. If the throttle plates are closed, how is one supposed to adjust the idle speed?

Todd,
Don't know of any tape but what has worked for me is to clean the pulley and highlight the marks with white-out or a light colored crayon or something. Another way is get a digital timing light with tach and advance features. This allows using the "P" mark only and you read the advance off the timing light.
