Haven’t dynos been around for like 100 years? I mean I really have no idea how common they would have been or even how they would have worked but I thought they were a thing before 79 at least

By say 1980 , dynos were pretty scarce.. big towns had them, but for many you had to travel to get to one.
And if it was a Harley tuner, he might not be so inclined or receptive...
And it could be expensive.
 I remember when there was a show or event.. someone would bring a dyno, and folks would line up to use it..
 Folks that dragraced...us... usually figured things out the other way... well some of us did.

Read plugs is an important knowledge. Now easy to find on internet. Not only about fuel mix, ignition and other engine damaging things.

When carbs are OK, plug inspection now and then to verify everything is OK.
