Thanks guys.

The Holley Rebuild Kit show in Bill's picture is already applied, and
IIRC I have a power valve saver already installed, but I will check.
I just moved, so fixing the Jeep is lower on my priority list. Getting
a good internet connection up and running again is more important,
posting by Google doesn't do it for me ;-)
