Thanks, I will search for burnt valve, as far as the carb, mechanic I took it to said it didn't look that bad, Was planning on rebuilding eventually but not at the top of the list.
I'm in California so won't desmog anytime soon
Am anxious to get things back together but also don't want to have to strip off the manifold again anytime soon if I can avoid it. Vacuum tube spaghetti!
