RE: Signs of Tired Valve Springs

[Herb McCurdy <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is your carb opening all the way by the pedal?  Big or Small Block. fuel pump keeping up?  Fuel pump pushrod on BB?  what type of ignition are you using, point, points, electronic?  Bushings or advance in your distributor?  How old are springs and are they the correct ones for the cam if aftermarket?
