I got the truck out on the highway today. First itme after install of the HEI I got 61 MPH out of a 53 3600 with a 216 and foru on the floor.

I was very impressed. I did a vac check and the gauge needle is shakey. I think that means valve issues. I will ruin it a lot int he next few weeks to see if they are just sticky form sitting. If no improbement I will look furthe rinto adjustments and sela replacement.

Any thoughts on this? Any chance this will improve on its own?
