Thanks guys! Yeah the way the vac gauge was reading I suspect it is ported. I will remove the plug and head to the hardware store.
I’m still waiting on my timing light but it can’t be too far off . I have verified that the flywheel BB lines up when my rotor bug is pointing to number 1, using the eyeball gauge.
My newest concern is that the rockers aren’t getting oil. They are very quiet though so I never thought about it but I had the valve cover off again today and the holes on top of each rocker are dry as a bone. I know this is a common issue so I’m hoping there is a thread addressing it around here somewhere.
And yes it’s a 235.
The galley & lines that feed oil to the head might need a good cleaning.
This diagram might help ðŸ‘
