1) Cool!
2) So pretty, will miss it, momentarily.
3) Doesn't it crash on such a new ubuntu? Try export in VE, then export in Lambda, should crash.
4) You use unity?
5) Ignition only on a carby car is a huge upgrade :-) Generally I think this:

Carbs do a better job of fueling than dizzys do of ignition, relative to the electronic options.

1) It's still a little stally around idle RPMs under light accel, because if I advance it so that it isn't it bucks while trying to maintain a constant speed.
2) It cuts off the part of the table that goes to 0 degrees at 0 RPM, and it looks like the first step also.
3) Closing the 3D view gets it every time. Among many other things.
4) Programming language? No, why?
5-6) I don't see any reason that has to be true, but I would agree since I've spent a lot of time jetting the carb, and never had changed a single the weight, spring, or diaphragm on the distributor.

2) Looks OK in your screeny.
3) Works with older linuxes, most of the time.
4) Window manager, default in ucuntu 12.x
5) Not all carbs are equal? My biggest complaint about carbs is when pulling large Gs... bowl spill = stall and difficult start. Not ideal with someone coming after you :-)

2) Ya, I guess it's right, I was just picturing it wrong.
5) My biggest problem with carbs is they don't like turbos.

Peter, did you use EDIS on this or your Ford "distributor"?

At this EDIS rate, yes. You mentioned waisted spark, can we do it with just a 36-1 wheel? Sold of my distributor in anticipation of this new ignition system.
