Very nice. I've died several seats and door cards over the years with good results. It's all about prep. Dan

My thinking... I've had issues with Petronix in the past (check the pick up on the shaft) Vacuum leak - smoke test Is the problem only at idle? What does it do at a steady 2500rpm?

Yeah, mine looks exactly like that.

Not interested for myself but may help them put a value to it. Or find a buyer..

A local car. I may help determine a valve but I'm not that familiar with them. Anyone familiar? I can check out BaT but I'd like to know more details about their problem areas. Dan

Looks correct to me. Am I missing something?

Ultra low miles isn't always a good thing.

Thinking out loud... You might be able to check valve clearance on exhaust and intake to determine which valves have issues. If valves are bent they usually have excessive clearance. It would be good to know if they've contacted on both sides. You said original stock cam and 9.5:1 compression...
