Installed new plugs and freshened up the carbs on the 440 Six Pack.
Installed a 6.5 power valve.
The pictures shows my vacuum reading at idle, about 800 rpms.
Should I swap out the power valve? Six Pack folks know what a pain removing carbs are :(
What size power valve should I go with?
What are the symptoms of too low of a power valve?

Thanks.

No, you have 18" of vacuum. Power valve does not open until vacuum drops below the value. In your case 6.5. so you are good to go.

IS it Auto or manual , if auto what is the vacuum idling in gear ?, you need to be 2" lower than that at minimum
