30PICT on stock 1600 DP?

I am running that set up. 30 pict and a vacuum advance distrib.
currently running a 116 main jet. I live a 6000 feet so air here is
thinner then most places. Engine is fine runs out OK

fred! kick it up there! our old dog will run up to 80 on the flats
with no wind! (this done for testing only). we had to have a hill
and a tailwind to hit 75 before. daughter daily drives a LOT of 65,
tho. thanks so much for the info, i feel i have a chance back for
the car we loved before!
