It is always a pain in the a** thing to get the '69 2000 Solex 'B' cam to
pass smog - all smog equipment was removed long ago.  Had to make only 4
trips to the smog station this year, so it is getting easier <g>.  The real
trick was to retard timing all the way to 0 - my adjustment would only allow
me to go to about 5 degrees, so I removed the bolt completely and got the
lowest hydrocarbon and CO readings at around 0 degrees.  At this point it
would barely achieve 2500 rpm, but passed, and at idle speed it passed
easily.  Of course, the pilot screws had to be leaned out some as well, but
overdoing it resulted in CO skyrocketing.

Spent the afternoon getting it to run right again - it does like things on
the 'rich' side with timing at almost 20 degrees (Boone distributor).
Solvang, here we come!
