Thanks Randy. And yes, you was right on all accounts. That's what I was asking.
I'm pretty sure the reeds have been upgraded, just by the stickers that are on the buggy, when I got it. So I'll see what's in there.

Meant to bring this up in last post and forgot.
Best way for leak down test. Best to seal of exhaust port, intake port, (with the boot). Leave spark plug in, and add the pressure from the pulse tube? Is that correct? And piston need to be all the way down. Correct? Or do I test it twice, one piston all way up, and one all the way down?
Thanks

Guess I'm on a roll. So I'll keep going. :)
What's the recommended amount of pressure to use when doing the leak down? I've seen 6-9. And depends on if you do a vacuum or pressure up the Engine. I have a hand brake pump. Guessing that should work.

Also, I do have my new starter rebuild kit. Might as well do that while I'm in doing this other stuff. But still need to put in the
dip stick vent Mod. I got the bellow ordered. found the ford radiator drain MUTT I need. Now on few other post, it says I need to
seal off the old vent hole. Correct? Found a pic of where it is. But what do I seal it off with? Small screw? thought I saw something like that.

I use a sheet metal screw with a little silicone on it to make sure it seals and stays in place. You definitely don't want that coming loose next to a flywheel spinning at 7000 rpm!.
