    OK, I think I'm all set... Vacuum line's hooked up and tested (sucking made a click in the dizzy and did not allow any further air through as indicated should happen). Driving, it feels like I have a bit more "pep", particularly as I accelerate up through the RPMS.

    I also seem to be getting better gas mileage... I drove Grayson up to scout camp in Delaware yesterday via highway and Rt. 23. The trip typically would have used about 1/4 of a tank of gas (highway driving typically uses a lot of gas, which I'd always chalked up to the engine having to work so hard to keep me at 65-70MPH), buy yesterday I think it took about 1/8 of a tank tops... Note that this is in no way scientific and I might be suffering from a case of "wishful-thinking-itis", but... (shrug).

    Thanks all for the help, as always...
