    Restoring a Caddy as time and weather allows

If I wasn't headed up to Portland for the week I think I would try to do a video on the start up and rise from idle to say 3000 RPM.  What is fun to watch is the top end when the IP is getting that required amount of pressure to push the plunger on the bottom over and start the advancement.  I still need to go back and read my manuals on RPM readings.  Somewhere I thought I saw a caution that it would be double on the meter for some reason.  I have the Tiny Tach on the dash and indeed the Snap on is double the Tiny but I can't remember the reason why right now.

Vehicle for the most part is stock 1.6 NA.  Only conversion was to be able to run WVO in it and GP fix from buss bar to individual fuses.  Oh, Frantz oil filter added too.

A vw1324 tool is another old school way to adjust the idle but with a tach/dwell meter...it is the same story, double the rpm reading.
