I installed my inner valve springs this weekend using a lever type valve spring commpresser, a small telescoping magnet, and a fitting to pressurise my cylinders. Only took about 45 minutes. A job I was dreading was quite easy. I re-torqued the heads and adjusted the valves, changed the oil and filter. Ive been on a few short trips and so far so good. I havnt really stood on it yet, needs some more break in time. ( I did do a small rolling burn out) Car idles good and sounds good. I need to dial my timing in and play with the carb some. I can tell it really wants to go at about 3800 RPM. Not a lot off bottom end torque, but enough. Its good to driving it again. 
Dave..did you get your car straitened out?

BTW yep sure did.. The two year old vac adv can gave up the ghost. Good thing was that I had one in the cabinet.. I've been looking for a replacement.. Maybe I should look for one up here in Canada
