    I failed SMOG today. My HC's were way to high. So I came home to check my timing. I could not find a timing mark on my pulley. I cleaned the whole pulley. Okay time for plan B. Pulled no. 1 plug, cranked it over till it was as close to TDC as I could get it. Made a timing mark. Timing was way to high. Reset it back to about 8* BTDC. Sounds way better, runs way better. I'll know tommorrow when I go back to get it checked again. I still want to check my plugs. I'll know more after I go get it checked.

    Also I got the only dual shift D50 !! And don't make fun of my super high flow air cleaner !!!

    SMOG is really pissing me off. I am going in the right direction but, I am running out of ideas. HC's are way to high.

    1ST TEST
    IDLE SPEED CO 8.86% 1.20% IS PASSING
    HIGH SPEED CO 4.68% 1.20% IS PASSING
    IDLE SPEED HC 395 2.20 PPM IS PASSING

    2ND TEST
    IDLE SPEED CO 8.01%
    HIGH SPEED CO 3.46%
    IDLE SPEED HC 457 PPM

    She is still way to high. And it is just pissing fuel. One thing of note is, both tests the rpm pickups had a hard time getting a clean signal. I don't know if that means I got a really weak ignition, or it may be the equipment. But it may help to explain why my HC's are so high. Is that a common problem, weak ignitions?? I haven't read anything about that being a problem. Are there even any ways to make the ignition hotter??
