Thanks.
So if my revs slow when i disconnect the retard would that suggest an issue with the dizzy?

Re: Air leak, carbs or dizzy problems
More likely incorrectly fitted pipes or car vacs are wrong due to incorrect adjustment.

Ignore that last one, though i'd not sent it. All pipes are correct, so weak vacuum / air leak...

Re: Air leak, carbs or dizzy problems
Think i'm getting somewhere!
Gone back to defaults, 2.5 turns out on mixtures, 90 degree turn out on throttle stops from seating - from this i can hear the advance kicking in on tick over. Adjusted the throttle stops back bit by bit, till they are virtually free, tick over down and its timing close (not perfect) but where it should be.
Vacs off, 28º btdc at revs, about 8º btdc at idile and about 4º atdc with vacs on. Revs don't massivly increase when i disconnect retard, but they don't drop either... (atempting to) adjusting the balance/mix now
