[Backtobasics]

CEEJ,
The carb had a 62 jet in it. I swapped in a 64 (smallest in the box) to see what it does.
I did not notice any appreciable difference in the behaviour, so we will see over this tank if it keeps it out of the power valve.

Valves were run recently and no noise so far. I adjusted them running, others use feeler gauge when off, but they are quiet and it idles smooth for now.

I just got the PCV hooked back up, and we blasted it out with carb cleaner, so it is clean. Next parts store trip I will get another, but there is NO blow by coming out the vent, so it appears to be doing the job!

Timing chain is in the plans, seems as if it is a problem area.
