Re: IML: 69 Won't pass emmissions

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I did change the oil & filter 2 weeks ago. One thing I'm not sure of is on 
the new carb, the instructions say to use one vacuum port for timed advance 
or the other for untimed advance. Since the car has dead when I changed the 
carb, I couldn't tell for sure which one is correct.
