Thanks Shorebilly.
I Just took my 60 mile drive in to work. I had removed the feed and return line under the floorboards back when I was welding in new floorboards prior to my paint job and I remember I was in a rush.
I could tell the mileage is okay because the fuel gauge didnt budge an iota and recently I was getting some movement. Also I think one of my rubber lines was leaking. I also had bent/misadjusted linkage problems
Boy the engine sure is quiet!
Finally everything is back to normal and with the new chain and valve adjustment and ip retiming I get a big smile listening to her at the stop light. When I did the valves they were really out of whack especially the exhaust valves, I couldnt get a .030 or .035 feeler gauge under there. The ip was way off too.
