Good points, Marc. Now..., how do you cross relate those two aspects, the
ignition and the mixture? I know the basic process of tuning the Solex/Weber
types from the idle circuits up through the RPM range, but can you go
through a similar, somewhat independent, process and optimize the timing? Or
at least can most of us who don't have a chassis dyno and exhaust gas
analyzer in the garage? It's times like this that make the new digital
engine management systems attractive. Just plug in your laptop and map the
fuel and ignition curves.

BTW, I haven't forgotten the step by step Solex/Weber tuning guide that I
mentioned some time ago. I'm digging around for some info I know I have on
starting points for jetting, so I can include it, too. I put it in one of
those places so safe now I can't find it! Doh! I need to order Hammill's
books on Webers and SUs anyway. Maybe I can convince Elayne I really need
them now.
