Compression 140-160 1971

Update...! From Thursday Oct 21.

On closer inspection...the AFR gauge pegs lean when I step on the gas (part throttle from any cruise condition, typically around 3K) then drops to 15.5 to 16.1 depending on whether you continue to accelerate.

IMHO I think I need to reshape the needle with a "step" reduction somewhere in the first inch.

With new 195 mains...idle is clearly running rich at 12.1 to 12.7 and tailpipe noticeable...
