Thanks. Had to pull the head anyway due to head gasket leak under water pump. Might a broken valve spring cause the delayed closing. While I'm at it I will replace manifold gaskets. All ignition components incl Dist body, were replaced 700 miles ago. I'll test #4 with in line spark tester. Appreciate all the suggestions. I'm new to Model A's but learning fast!
