After my recent engine rebuild I just couldn't get the six to idle smoothly. 
I had the needles screwed up to full richness but still had a lean condition.  
Checked all of the potential sites to no avail.   I re-adjusted the valves 
and when installing the valve cover I noticed that the new hose that  connects 
the valve cover to carbs was a somewhat loose fit.  I installed a hose clamp at 
the valve cover attachment point.  Voila!!  I am now happy to say that I now 
have a rich condition to contend with. I am now off to adjust the carbs and 
set the dwell.  I may even celebrate with an adult beverage.  Jeez-sometimes 
the 
fix is so obvious.
