I had some time to work on the old Chevy today. I took out all the plugs, hoping to cough out any debris in the cylinder...no change. No plugs appeared damaged. I bought a bore scope, but I couldn't see anything except for the reflection of the light on the camera on the back of the cylinder walls. I pulled the valve covers, and didn't notice any change in the sound, or see anything odd. Three pushrods weren't rotating, but nothing really loose. All valves appeared to be closing all the way.

Could be a coincidence, not related to the carb change. What next? Pull the intake?
