[DML] Re: Three brass screws (Please help, I broke my car)

["ryanpwright" <yahoo1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Thank you for the response. I have sealed the vaccumn leaks (there
were disconnected hoses), the brass screws are all closed and the car
is running much better now. I still would like to check the timing,
mechanical advance, and vacuumn advance. I already have a procedure
for the timing - where can I find the proper procedure for setting the
other two?

Thank you again,

-Ryan
