As you now know rebuilt engine and installed AEM timing gears..

So....I advanced the exhaust cam 10 degrees and yeap sounded like a million bucks Vac. inceased to 17-20 hg..
Idle has nice smooth hummmm...
happy now!!!

Most of the time it is the exhaust cam gear that gets misaligned when installing the timing belt. Usually do to improper tensioning of the timing belt. If you move the crank to TDC is the intake cam mark level (or straight), but the exhaust cam mark lower than the intake one?
