Nice. Break in is over rated. Just take it easy bit more. I remember when Keisler recommended a break in - in city driving - where I would be 80 yo when done. IF I lived that long. I like my SST too, and the clutch is what it always should have been.
It's a nifty thing to control afr but does not create efficiency. If you're running rich it just creates a vacuum leak to bring the afr in check vs a actual adjustment to fuel delivery

Pulled valve covers when I went to race in Florida in March and didn't find anything.

Depends on head flow too; with the same heads, the 383 will wind up higher before reaching the flow limit, as compared to a 440. Once the head is maxed out, that's all the power you'll get, no matter how many cubes.
When I had the gasket installed with fresh glass from AMD on my 68 Satellite, the shop that did it said they sometimes use a hair dryer heat gun at the final 2 corners to assist final fit. Anyone else use this in addition to the lubricant (linseed oil, detergent)?
They also mentioned that some...
He used something like a mustard bottle similar to this:
He just squirted it in and set the glass in the bottom. He went from the bottom UP like I have done.
