Thanks Pat. That's how I was planning on doing it, except I plan on pulling the plugs to check them anyway, since I haven't done that yet.

Actually a question - I did pull one plug and it has more carbon build up on it than it should. I believe my idle mixture has been a bit rich and that could account for it, but I also found that the plugs were gapped to .045, and not .035-.040 as suggested previously. I will replace the plugs, but should I gap them to .040 or .045? Not sure if the wider gap caused carbon buildup as well? I was planning on just going with the Autolite 45 copper plugs again.

Other than that I got the valve covers off - more of a PITA than I would have thought, and got them clean and the heads clean, so will finally adjust the lash this week.
