so i didnt get to the glass yesterday. But tonight its out !! Cut the gasket from the out side & gave it a push - it came out & fell in the bed.
Then I decided to check the vacuum and timing. Vac was 14" at 950 rpm. timing was almost 25 deg. advanced. brought timing back to 15 deg advanced and left rpm's at 950. vaccum jumped to 25 ". truck runs much better!!
