let me see if I can hit all your questions.

206k miles on the odometer. I assume its the original motor.
Seafoamed the engine already.
8 degrees advanced I think... recall 5 was Stock and people suggested going an additional 3 for better gas milage.
regular gas.
Haven't run a compression test. the sparkplug nearest the transmition is cross threaded and I'm leary of pulling it out.

Motor has quieted a bit. More noise when cold and is pretty quiet when warmed up.

Engine sounds... like a diesel. I was thinking maybe the hydralic lifters where sticking when cold and loosing pressure under load. Dunno.

any thoughts or advice appritiated!

Thanks!
