[Roadsters] 1600 tuning issues

[Roy Haslett]

Hey All,
I just replaced my fried points, condensor, cap and rotor...plugs
too.  My 1600 was running poor and backfiring, alot of hesitation too. 
Adjusted valves as well to .017 hot.  My problem is its still running weird,
backfiring on deceleration.  I have adjusted the timing as best as I can and
acceleration is strong, just the sputtering and backfires when backing
off...idle is not great either....its high at about 1100 rpm and I can't get
it lower.
Any suggestions as to tuning?
Thanks,
Roy Haslett
