Bitter learning curve. Absolutely DONE with carburetors!!!

Got a call from Rick, he put his electronic stethoscope on it and can't find anything out of the ordinary, everything sounds like it should, he said it's a good sounding engine. That is great news in that I don't have to pull the motor, and I put a motor together that passes an expert opinion!!! I'll have to spend some more time on tracking down where that noise is coming from, just glad it's not the bottom end or top end.
Someone here (Inertia) mentioned the PVC putting the grey on the dipstick....
Thank you, I'll be getting the PVC up to par right quick, I pushed your Thank You button for that one.
The oil pressure is also good news, Rick hooked up his gauge and it's reading 15psi at hot idle, 60psi at 3k rpm's. He said it biulds fast and no dips. No need to pull the engine for this one, just the cheap Sunpro gauge I bought. He also said ideally he would like more at idle and it's possible I nicked a bearing putting the cam in. I think it's lost a few pounds at idle from doing the oil mod for the distibutor drive, which is totally acceptable to me. Someone is getting a thank you for recommending that earlier.
Also Rick fixed the choke and fast idle that I F'd up, he's checking the spark plugs and doing a quick set on the floats. I'm picking it up later and setting a day to drop it back off to him for some more in depth tuning. Rick has some real nice cars in his shop right now and did this for free just to help out an fellow A-Body guy. I cannot thank him enough. Thank you Rick Pagan.
