A vacuum leak will cause the same problem, have had it happen with a couple different motors.

well, we went to time the car and rejet and we noticed that the jets we dirty, come to find out the foam in the tank got in the system. Fuel filter was clogged. Also the distrubtor was locked out.

~22* idle and 36* @ 7000 works fine for me. Nice and easy on the starter as well.
If you have it wired to spin up before firing I have not had a single problem running them locked. I did have one stick before I started locking them and it did not advance and it melted the motor down. I would MUCH rather replace a flywheel than pistons, heads and a block.

I have never seen a serious race car not run a locked out distributor. Every major engine builder I know of has them locked out. You can spin the engine over and get oil where it's supposed to be, flip the ignition switch and your fired...Very simple...Not a grocery getter...A centrifigal advance is one more thing that can go wrong...I have NEVER seen another DLM where they are not set up the way I just mentioned...

If it was black it was rich, Octane is a requirement of compression NOT a jet sized adjustment. A smaller jet may make it better but you are making the combo lean to run hotter to burn the higher compression fuel.
