Ok, FINALLY got the danged fuel line fixed!!!!

I adjusted the vavles with motor off, like ticker and the book said

"1. Set the engine to TDC compression #1. This is done by removing the #1 spark plug and the coil wire or HEI distributor connection, putting your finger over the hole and having someone "bump" the engine until you feel pressure..and then bumping it carefully so the timing mark is at '0' degrees. If you overshoot, you need to go all the way around until you feel pressure again. A remote starter switch for $15 makes this a bunch easier...

2. Adjust exhaust valve: 1, 3, 4, 8

3. Adjust intake valve: 1, 2, 5, 7

4. Set the engine to TDC compression #6. Same as above, but with the #6 plug.

5. Ajust exhaust valve: 2, 5, 6, 7

6. Adjust intake valve: 3, 4, 6, 8

They're set to zero lash plus 1/2 turn for a CompCams cam.

Adjusting them while running just makes a mess and ends up with way too much preload."

I did just as he said and I still have a slight tick...soo guess ima re do it or go back and listen with a hose or something to hear where it comming from...

EDIT: Truck sounds REALLY good btw, i love it! I pulled it off the patio of the shop and ive got the clutch way off, with the pedel completely depressed, it BARELY moves, so I need to tighten it up, right?
