You have noticed the problem, now what do you do about it?
The engine wants more timing at idle, and less at full speed. The way to get
this is to reduce the amount of mechanical advance the distibutor puts in. This
can be done several ways, and if you have the right Ford distributor, quite
easily.
Rather than trying to explain it over and over, here is a new page with photos:

I've been wanting to create this page for ages, and just did it in the past 20
minutes.
If you all on the list would read it, and provide some constructive criticisms,
I'd be very pleased.
