Power wire

There may be something to that.
I run power straight from fuse box to HEI cap.
Wire is oversized and soldered ends for longevity.

Idle adjustment

So I should set 550rpm column up to 650.
And add a few degrees to both 650 and 750 column?

Agreed with two O rings I would say the valve would then think modulator is retracted
Farther into the body of modulator then it really is. That would mean early and softer shifts.

Thermostat

I think I have run every type and temp rated stat there is.
Humbly found my car like NOS AC Delco 170 degree stat.
It does have a small notch to bleed out air when refilling

VR1 10w-30

Honestly Amazon is where I usually get it from.
30-35 for a jug delivered.
I do support local Napa for filters and such since
I can get Baldwin thru them.
