My guess is it will smooth out a little more over time as that motor was just fired up and not broken in. No tuning. I just dropped the dist. in and slapped my other engine`s carb on. I didn`t touch it at all. So, my guess is it`s not tuned properly. That`s not even my dist. I borrowed that one so I wouldn`t have to hook up a cd box.

Wade,
How about posting a parts break down/engine recipe. I always find it useful to see the different parts combinations that people have success with.

Looks and sounds good Punch. Now that you have heard it, I suspect things will move pretty quickly getting it in the car!
