Hi Brett,

   Thanks for your input, it is great to know folks are out there that share my interests and are willing to provide knowledgeable assistance. The sucky gauge is just a vacuum gauge that I was trying to use to adjust the timing. I have put it in the closet for now and just went with the 12 degree BTDC static setting. That seems to work fine. I will check the valve clearances when the car is down while I install the O/D unit I have ordered. I should probably have done that a year and 3000 miles ago, but have been having too much fun just driving it. I may get the vacuum gauge out after I get the valves dialed in, but just out of curiosity.
