Either my vacuum gauge is busted or I was on a ported vacuum port. Because I didn't see any vacuum. It has a 6.5 power valve on it and the power brakes work so who knows?
I warmed it up yesterday and put a baseline tune on it. Four corner idle screws ended up at one half turn out. About 850-900 RPM is the lowest it seemed happy idling at.
I changed the oil and check to make sure it all the push rods were spinning.
Ill take it for another short run see what the plugs look like. Then I need to put the inner valve springs back in. I'm being real careful to let it get some run time to seat the lifters. I'm keeping the RPMs under 4k so I don't risk floating the valves
