Do you know if your vacuum advance is working? If not, I would suggest that you check timing at 2500 rpm (total advance). Timing at idle is not all that important, since you spend very little time time behind the wheel at idle. For the best performance, you should set timing at 34-36 degrees with a largely stock motor. If you get detonation dial it back a few degrees. If you're feeling particularly adventurous you can begin experimenting with different needle profiles. In my motor, which is modified, I get the best performance with SB needles, though they are too rich for everyday driving. FYI, I've switched from using ATF damper fluid to 20 wt fork oil, which you can find online or at your local motorcycle shop.

Just a quick update for anyone interested in my Float-Sync tools. I've sold roughly 20 sets since early April and when the stock I have is gone, I'll likely not be producing more. You can find them on e-bay or you can order from me directly at datsun.floatsync@gmail.com, and save yourself $5.00.
