Well i figured id ask even tho it does not bother me cuz the car runs great. But Why at idle would my car run super rich. I dont have Cats on the car and went to emissions and they said i passed everything but the idle test 7 times the legal limit.

Im running 24# inj. 255 pump. MSD 6al. 306 w/ all boltons and heads. Autolite plugs. FMS wires and stock distributor

Timing made a hug difference in my car too.......maybe a few more degrees might get rid of some of the richness down low. If it runs good let it be
