Into the CIS abyss

[DGraber460 at aol.com]

Last night I ventured into the black abyss of CIS experimentation. I know  to 
some that's a 4 letter word, but have mercy.
Since I acquired my WXd 83 URQ (and 2 motors since) it has not been  
consistant or impressive at full throttle. Ever!
So- I pulled 2 fuel distributors from the local boneyard. The plan was to  
have 1 to experiment with, one stock with which to return to the  hinterland's 
original spec, and my original.
 
I put one on the car last night and adjusted the allen screws under the  caps 
next to the fuel lines out (counterclockwise- rich) 45 degrees each.
The preliminary results are YEEHAAAAAAAAAA! Full throttle as it was  intended 
to be. All the way to redline, and not just in 3rd gear. I will now  check 
the plugs routinely for indications of rich/lean etc. The frequency valve  still 
dials right in, so I don't feel I have gone over the edge with  mixture.
Maybe I should put together a fuel ratio meter? Anyone who has done that  and 
could talk a non electric dummy through the process would be greatly  
appreciated.
More real life driving impressions to follow, but so far it is an amazing  
transformation.
