Thanks.

I will go ahead and order a 3.5 power valve.

And I forgot to mention I have put copper wire down the idle bleeds. That definitely helped bring up the speed.  

And PS, I have a 4 speed

Spent last night troubleshooting an ignition problem. It was cranking fine, but no spark. Charged the battery up a little bit and it worked.

I read the MSD is very sensitive to the volts while cranking. Worries me since thats never happened before  

I must be loosing volts somewhere to the ignition box, because the starter was cranking over strong.

Anyways, I ordered a 3.5 PV, and some 62 jets and new idle screws and metering block gaskets just in case, since Im going back in (for about the 10th time).

But....the car is running MUCH better today. Started right up (almost) and idled and ran fairly well.
