Cab,
yes by late timing I mean the intake is opening at 35-36 btdc when it should be 38 btdc.
I have checked the plug on the bottom of the intake.Timing was a little erratic with the oem dual point but i replaced it and timing is good now.
How much of a vaccum loss would I see if the brake booster was bad?
what do you guys recommend to seal the head stud threads?




Permatex makes a white thread sealer that I use.

Permatex # PX 56521

If the studs are not sealed, you will draw oil passed the threads that you will see in the intake ports.

Any chance the valves are adjusted too tight?
