Quick valve lash questions...

With a 62 year old fuel pump running might be one thing that it won't help with.

My Carter pump came from rock auto, I don't remember it being expensive. But OTOH, when you're spending like a drunken sailor anyway, you tend to push all that out of your mind.
i wish i could... i have a hard time parting with money.. i usually end up spending 2-3 times though
