Valves set to a tight .006" all around approx. 1,000 miles ago, I'll be
setting them to .004" next time except for the #3 exhaust valve, maybe
before I smog it again?

Thanks for all the feedback from everyone so far.

One thing I realize now is the car might not have been fully warmed up.  I
went there after work, a distance of only 2 miles.  I then sat in line for
15-20 minutes with the car turned off.  Outside temp was 70F.

Also, would the 009 affect anything?  I plan to locate a correct stock
vacuum dizzy, 311 905 205 G.
