I think the problem is finally sorted out. The winner is "Mangusta Steve" Liebenow who figured valve adjustment. Backing off the adjustment just a bit boosted the vacuum to 18hg. The motor ran strong and didn't die when it heated up. I haven't had time for a real road test yet but it looks promising. It was interesting adjusting the valves and watching the vacuum gauge. Just a bit of over tightening would send the needle down. I guess that spread over 16 valves added up to the vacuum loss! My adjustments were all no more that a quarter turn off but it made all the difference. Thanks to all that offered help!
