My ebrake light shows a little dim on the speedometer when the ebrake is off. Where should i check? It must be a bad ground somewhere.

Sorry Denis. I will leave the timing as it is at 14 btdc. I raced the car last night and it accelerates fine. I hope you guys can help me solve this low rpm spark plug fouling. I should have never bought a car that had an engine remanufactured and modified by californa datsun. I should have bought a stock engine.

Im taking it for a test drive today and will leave it idling for 20 mins to simulate a traffic jam. Should i leav the timing at 14 btdc? Ill swap the cables and test the car.

I burshed the 6 plugs and took the car for a hard run on the highway. Parked the car and took 3 and 4 out.

Reading was the same. It did not change. Should i take my car for a spin hard and retard the timing from 14 to 12 btdc to see if leaving it at idle does the same?

The resistance test i did yesterday was with the distributor cap disconected one multimeter probe at the cap terminal and the other one at the center electrode of the spark plug lugged at the spark wire boot. What else is needed?

there is no air leak at the intake manifold. i have sprayed carb cleaner many times and have not noticed any idle drop. All my mechanics have concur there is no air leak. Come on guys. Both of my carbs were recently remanufactured in Dec 2014 by Ztherapy. So that must also be taken out of the equation. Why plugs 3 and 4??
