Since apparently no one has been adjusting the Valves since you owned it how many miles do you think it has on it since the last valve adjustment or since you have owned it?

Thanks for that information. That is how I was doing the bleeding. I'll try it one more time using that method, because I did disconnect one of the lines when I changed the glow plugs a few days ago.
I have no idea when the last valve adjustment was. I'm going to go ahead and do that tonight. I've only put a couple thousand miles on it in the three months I've owned it. I doubt the PO put more than a couple thousand miles on it in the last 10 years. (odometer doesn't work so no telling) I wouldn't be surprised if he never had the valves adjusted in the 30 years he owned it. Although he seemed to believe he maintained it well because he washed it, waxed it and kept it garaged, there were a lot of "deferred maintenance" items I had to do when I got it. (Brake MC, booster, tires, shocks, sway bar links.) I finally had it driving great; now I just need to get it running again!
