thanks for the tips.. everything went smoothly minus i practically blew 6 screws out of teh top of the carburator. even with that explosion (lol) the car still fired back up and ran smoothly.... I should have bought the ready to run distributor sooner.. I mean it was cake... and the old engine compartment doesnt have the clutter box anymore.. I still have a revving problem under load.. The last thing i can afford to do is add an electric fuel pump.. I do not have the time to do it right changing to a 3/8 line all the way into the tank. So i will clean my current fuel line.(no filter in the tank)and add a pre-filter and pump. Also i will look for FOD in my tank.
