4 Barrel

I did that prior to intial startup. When I tried to start, there was no compresion. I backed out adustment one full turn and it started and ran @ 3000 for 25 minites. I have built a large number of engines, in my over sixty years working on cars and trucks, but I have no idea what was going on with that lifter adustment. I'll go ahead and go over it again as you suggest. I did find a stripped carb mounting thread which possibly is causing a vacuum leak.
Thanks a bunch!
