Donalds, I reset the valves and picked up about 4" of manifold vacuum.  On
power off coast down, just prior to applying the brakes, the engine develops
21" of vacuum and holds it until just about stopped and then it drops to
~14".  Having the vacuum gauge on the dash helped in verifying Bob's
procedure.  Many thanks to Bob Donalds!!

Hi Joe,

Did you set your valve adjustment at .006 cold like it was solid tappets?
And then leave it that way permenantly?

Bye,
Mark Ingalls
