IDK....really hard to tell in the vid. Anyone else seeing #3 intake barely opening?

I'd measure the lift on that one IIWM. I'd expect to see ~.420"...ish.

My dad is going to see if a friend of his that builds engines will check it out. We don't have the tools to measure it.

In the meantime I'm going to work on sorting out the brakes since I already have the line/hoses.

Update. My Dad's friend is going to help me out in a couple of weeks.

Been too hot and humid to do much. I went though my wiring diagrams again and found the oem choke power wire, tested it and hooked it up. I had been using a temporary wire that I disconnected whenever I was not running the car. When I have a day that is not in the 80s-90s with 90+% humidity I'll work on the brake lines and hoses.
