Well I adjusted the valves last night. Set everything to 1/2 turn, took my time and got it right on the money. I started the motor, it really didnt sound as good, but I guess it just may be the design of my exhaust system, so I decieded to try it anyhow.
I set the tach to 5,500 and made 2 passes down my road. I got going about 25mph kept the car in second gear and hit the gas. Before I had time to say "jumpin leap frogs", the shift light came on, and I looked down at a 6000rpm. Turned around and did the same thing this time I pulled a nice 6200rpm.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. I still have a big lag in the secondarys when they kick in, so I may try a new carb anyhow and see if I can pull up to 6500.

Thanks again everyone

Ben
