I didn't have much time to work on the car today. Too many errands
after work.

BUT, I did tinker with the fuel mixture some more. The reason I fiddle
with this "verbotten" item so much is because I know it was grossly
off from when I let that amatuer mechanic have it last winter.

The first thing I notice and love, is that the car starts hot or cold,
first time, every time and idles exactly on the spot. 

I started to give it more fuel until I noticed a change. I then
checked the timing and RPM (throttle linkage) and reset them. I did
this over and over until it had so much fuel that nothing I did with
the timing and throttle linkage would smooth out the idle. Then I
backed off on the fuel until everything smoothed out.

First, I noticed that when you hit the gas, the RPM's climb quicker
and more easily. The back firing is gone too! But I won't really know
if I have any more power until I drive it and I can't do that until I
replace the steering rack boot. :(

Second, all this time I've noticed that my engine gets HOT. So hot
that when it warms up the radiant heat drove me out and I couldn't 
work in there for more than a couple of minutes at a time. The gauge
always stayed in specs though.

Today, I was able to work in the engine compartment as long as I
wanted and I wasn't driven away. The gauge read the same but I know
this isn't my imagination. I was able to sense the difference in
radiated heat because Mike Cohee's car runs nice and cool and I was
helping him the other night.

Does this make sense to anyone, or am I just mental?
