John, Bob, dad and I ran through the whole thing on Wednesday let the car sit over night, first the valves and then we took it around the block to do the fast idle cam *or the screw that faces towards the back* then we set the timing statically and checked it with the hose off and plugged. We then adjusted the idle between 880-900. It seems to fluxuate.

The carb is a stock 34 pic 3
Dizzy is an Aircooled SVDA
Bug was timed at 7.5 BTDC which is what the link jack gave me said, and also the guy from the Bug me Video
*walks outside to get Engine Code*
AH180749 is the Engine Code
Dad's looking over the car tomorrow while at work, the points arn't wearing evenly so we're going to swap out the points out of his new Dizzy that he hasn't put in yet.
He's going to re-check the point gaps etc.
The car doesn't always back fire, it's tempermental. The RPMS have to fall at a certain speed from a certain left for this to happen. Otherwise it runs great. The timing was dead on. It didn't backfire before we timed it but it did rumble when you let off the accerator w/o pushing down the clutch. It also ran very poorly before, trouble starting, warming up, bogging down while at a steady speed.
Cept for the backfiring, it runs great. Hopefully something just went out of adjustment.
