    Hi All,
    Are there any good engine guys out there who can help me diagnose an rough running engine???

    Here is a video of the vacuum gauge with the engine running at various engine speeds:



    The engine is a 1949 Packard Straight Eight and it was just rebuilt. I just adjusted the valves hot and replaced the spark plugs. All cylinders were compression tested and all are within 107 and 118 PSI during a hot compression test (spark plugs out and 5 compression strokes).

    Can anyone PLEASE offer some suggestions/advice???

    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

    Bill
