Holley 1850-5

WoW! If I had to type all that I would be up all night! LOL . When I said bump #1 cylinder I meant finding true TDC which as I was saying when I thought I my initial was at 8' it turns out I been at 13' . As for Vacuum leaks I've blocked the PVC off and the V can (no change). I have no other vacuum ports other than a capped hose port on intake for my dash mounted gauge. I'm curious what Cam you would choose for my combo in case I decide to go down that path in the future. I agree the steam in the exhaust is probably nothing to worry about as of yet. My brother has a friend that is really smart with any vehicle and I'm hoping to get him over to give me his opinion. I like the Dip stick tube test , I'll try that . I will stick with an AVS when problem is solved. Thanks for the reply I appreciate it.
