Test Your Hearing - How Does My 12A Sound?

So now that the car has new coils, new plugs, new throttle spring, and adjusted mixture (was running rich), she idles nicely at 1000rpm after warming up.

Here is a video of the exhaust tune...how does it sound?

at idle:

up to 5k RPM:

Any advice on further tuning?

Thanks!

It's a 1980 with a Dellorto 48, RB header, RB manifold, Magnaflow exhaust, NGK Iridium, MSD coils, no rats nest...

No expert but sounds nice to me. Bit of a tease tho not revving it up a bit, or a nice drive-by under power...
If is a solid 1K idle it must be close to "right" with the combo you have? Let the Lads with similar setup chime in tho. Off to a good start

Sounds good. You need to rev or drive it so we can really hear it. Single pipe to the Magnaflow? May get loud when you push it.
