<VV> moveable timing solved

[pete]

Thanks to all who responded to my problem. It appears to be solved. Phil Ellis was sure it was the incorrect tooth position of the distributor and came over today to show me how to correct it. When we moved the distributor one tooth,the timing dropped from 36 degrees to 16 degrees. With a little tweaking of the distributor ,  the points and idle,we got it down to 14 degrees. The final settings are now ;
  ....timing 14 degrees
  ....rpm 1050 [little high]
  ....dwell 32 degrees 
         The problem of  variable timing were the chokes. They were not synchronized nor operating correctly,so the engine would "kick down" then at other times pick up.
  I have to repair or replace the thermo spring on the driver's side[wont know till I get at it]. Also will check vacuum line. Of course with the timing set at 14 degrees,I will have to listen for any pinging and adjust if necessary.
         Thanks to all;  Pete
