Funny how these topics appear just as my car does a similar thing.

For the first time in a very long time - my car dieseled yesterday.   I now
have a course of action  and for me it's hopefully simple.

The idle crept up to 1200 from 800 (where I normally keep it) as a result of
fixing a stuck vaccuum advance, playing with the dizzy, or adding gas
treament and driving for 4 hours at 70mph +.  Or some combination of the
above. I'll bring the idle back down today.

I imagine bad timing could be a be a suspect for me here, too as I just
played with the Dizzy and left it in a place where it seemed to run the best
vs putting a light or even static timing it....

All the best,

Chris
