help on 400 valve lash?
I have a 79 f250 that runs ok, but not at the same time. I likes to not rev out as fast as she should, the power is there but not, and it like to keep running after you shut the thing off. I have yet to pull my v-covers but I want to check my valve lash and cant find it on the web<(polish go figure)>. The EGR system is messed up aswell I think. I want to bypass the whole thing and run no emissions just dont know how. If anyone can help or steer me in a good direction let me know

sounds like you timed it with the vacuum advance hooked up. my buddy did that in his jeep scrambler and it would keep running for a couple of seconds after the ignition was shut off.
might want to check that out.

nevermind, figured the wiring out, I had 6 bad wires so I put new ones on. put it to TDC and check my positions. my distributor was straight and my rotor was facing #8. I wasnt going to go to deep tonight but I turned until #1 and she runs 99% better with no load and rather than chugging for 30sec after I shut down it just does 1 little chug now.
