Thanks geezer I'll give it a try on the timing.

For the PCV system, I'm pretty sure it's not vented at the cap (I'll check again). What is the performance impact of that and no breather?

I'm inclined to do what I saw in another thread where I'll put a vented cap on the oil filler, get rid of that ugly hose and then make an adapter for the valve cover where the PCV valve can connect. You had to custom make an adapter for the old 283 valve covers (no breather or PCV ports) but I can handle that. I'll upgrade to a pair of nice orange scripted covers.

Cheers,
Rich
