Slant six idles rough

You said no vacuum leaks,
And no noise from the valves, so
Your valve lash is too tight.

Sorry I’ll clarify. No noise as in no excessive ticking or what would sound like too much play. Sorry should have used better choice of words

How did you adjust the valves?

Uncle Tony's Garage has a video on a faulty Pertronix dist that caused the engine to shake at idle. I would never use a Pertronix product.

Have you run a compression test yet?

Have you run a compression test yet?

Yea I did a few weeks ago and it was about 130 each cylinder. When I did the valve adjustment did .01 and .02 intake and exhaust. Fully warmed up, valve cover off that’s how I did the adjustment. Did make it run a little smoother. Thanks for the response
