John, thanks, I'll crank it down the further 1/4 turn back to "normal", assuming where it was initially was "normal". I have the Ingram manual and will study it on the next rainy day. Bruce

If you want to use my factory tool to set you stop screws back to spec, drop me a PM and I'll send it to you. Right now, Pat Padden has it, but he can send it to you when he's done with it.

I have a different problem with my 69 GTV Spica. Pump and TA are newly rebuilt by Wes Ingram. I have adjusted and readjusted all settings according to the BOOK. As the engine temperature reaches 180, idle just goes to zero and engine dies.
this is hell in city traffic! Below and above this narrow temperature range the engine runs fine, idles at 8000 and pulls well through the RPMs. Has anyone else had this problem?

Without going into a long and drawn out story, put new plugs in and see if your idle returns.

Since I've been asked by some, here is the long and drawn out story:

Fouled plugs

Idles at 8000 ? Cool.
