Mark,
thanks for the information.

At idle 850 rpm, warm no cold enrichment, my needle wavers 1 to 2
lines (1 or 2 in Hg) around 12 in Hg.  The wavering is small.  My tach
needle also wavers.  At above 1,200 rpm to high RPM, the needle is
steady at 19 in Hg.

I've looked at pictures on the Internet and it appears that "wavering"
usually refers to a swing of maybe 4 inches either way.  I don't have
this.

I do have a cylinder misfire and a lot of extra parts I can use for
swapping.  I just want to limit the amount of swapping I have to do.

I'm still learning.  I'm going to look in the archives.

Thanks.

Regards,
Craig
