I'm loving all the input.  Nice to hear what others have experienced. 
Answering one question on timing, I had it set around 18
btdc............mechanic said he set it back a littl.......i'm guessing around
16.  He mentioned low vacuum being a problem which I don't understand.  He
said i had no leaks but around 10lbs.  and need around 19 lbs to make it run
better coming off idle.   He said the only alternative to smooth running off
idle was higher rpm.

in reading back through old notes I made i see someone
mentioned that there are alternate sets of holes in the cam sprocket.  bolts
on with 2 bolts but 4 holes.........two are offset.  would this make any
differance?
