its a bit cold out but i finally decided to suck it up and check a few more things before i go spending $ all crazy like. holleytv.com gave me a few starting points
fuel filter - good
air filter - looks good but will run it without it to double check
egr valve - dont have one
alt voltage - good (at battery:12.9 volts when off, 14.8 volts when at idle)
as i was checking the alternater to see if maybe the ignition system wasnt getting enough voltage i could hear a metallic sound coming from the passanger side valve cover. not a constante noise but you could hear it every now and then. oil level is a bit low, im hoping its just a rocker not getting enough oil or that has too much lash.
ill have to check the valvetrain when i get home later
