I forgot to mention my dwell was 48 and I was idling at 1500, I lowered it temporarily with the air-bypass to 950's. I will confirm timing tomorrow, but I feel good about where it is.

Here is a good site about vacuum gauge reading.

that link was exactly what I was looking for . Thank You !

I put in the Bosch supers and dialed in the timing, confirmed my 49 dwell again. I then re-adjusted my idle back to 950 + or - with the byass. I also traded my fresh air hose clamp with the clamp at the top of my AFM S-tube. After my 20 minute test spin, I checked vacuum again and had a solid 16. snap good as well. No spits, sputters, great power. I think if my gas mileage continues to be bad, I am going to swap out the pressure regulator.

I need few more short trips in it, but I am hopeful, again....

Thanks to everyone!
