Joe, since I now know that I will be driving my truck to KC, I might just borrow those tools from you and return them to you at KC. I saw a manometer online for about $50 last night, so I might just go ahead and buy my own. Let me think about it.
Some of the other suggestions, about fiddling with the timing, making sure the carbs are matched, etc. will definitely be tried over time. I guess the first thing I need to do is figure what the heck is wrong with the odometer and remember that I need to change oil every 1000 miles until I do. :-)
