Carb Tuning / Vacuum Problems?

horsehead said
First thing I would check is the firing order.

Done, it's right, triple checked. I know it ran to Kentucky and back with 1 or 2 loose plug wires though, and ran worse then. I think I'm gonna get new plug wires, one of them has a little scarring from sitting on the manifold (#5) and another doesn't "click" when I put it on the spark plug (#7). Any suggestions or are they all the same?

Do you have the right pushrods?It sounds like your valves are not adjusted properly,do a compression test,also take a small diameter vacuum line about 3 feet long and hold it up to your ear and snoop around the carb base and intake faces see if you hear a hiss.

Don't know anything about the rods, I'll pull the valve covers sometime and check I guess. Will try with the hose.
