David and others,

since i don't have access to an exhaust analyzer for CIS, can you explain 
exactly how to infer the CO ratio from the dwell reading? please explain 
hook-up procedure and operations so that i can see if it makes a difference. 
what are the proper readings? i am positive that the advance is working 
correctly. idle system is ok too - the engine stops when you remove the plug 
from the idle motor. i also have all linkage adjusted correctly and the idle 
speed switch is confirmed operational.

Andy
