Have you tried adjusting it, or is it backed out already?

Cfrench192:
I backed out the APT.  Its definitely running richer now.  I backed it out all the way and threaded it in 1/2 turn.  Big difference in the cruise circuit.  I'm going in for smog tomorrow.  I will post the results. The cruise circuit is running as low as 15.3 A/F on the freeway (80 mph).  Before i turned the apt it was running 17.3.  If this fails I have a later model calibration kit coming in this week.

Cfrench192:
I would also like to add that the distributor is hooked up to full manifold.  It has a new distributor with a light spring and 1 medium spring.  The test showed 03 btdc and passed the timing test. The total timing is at 32.  should I change the advance curve?  I am running a functional egr.

77cruiser:
I think advanced timing contributes to high NOX too, may have to change the curve. How much do they charge to smog it?

DieselPower:
I would think that with a fully and correctly functioning EGR, NOx would not be a problem.  Have you gone through any procedures to make sure that the EGR valve, solenoid, and associated wiring and vacuum are working 100%
