    ETA valve adjustment help

    Hello, I adjusted my valves for the first time today. The car ran fine this morning before adjusting them. I made sure each cylinder was at tdc and valve springs were relaxed before adjusting them to .010". Cold motor, and they we're tight enough that .012" wouldn't fit. I put on the new valve cover gasket and rocker plugs and hooked everything back up. Went to start the car,and it starts, but will die immediately if I don't constantly feather the throttle. Checked for visual/audible vacuum leaks, but no luck. Did a smoke test the other day before the adjustment and there was very little smoke coming from the valve cover/rocker plug area by the t/b but nowhere else. Anyone else have this happen? Thanks,

    Josh
