Well, my car is all dialed in and running great!!!!! With some help from the local Engine Guru (happens to be my friend's dad ). I paid him with a 30 pack of coors, GOOD INVESTMENT! It took him about 5 minutes to make my car run like a champ, only thing now is i need some new spark plugs cause these ones are fowling all over at high rpm.. im not gettin a complete burn.

Looks like im gunna have to get that MSD 6A ignition before the headers. Overall driveability is great with this carb! And no the powervalve was never blown, it has powervalve blowout protection. I have to let on the pedal evenly iwth the rpms, and be fully open at about 3000rpm and up , if i push it all the way at like 1500 its a little too much gas, but it still makes its way up, just a little bit slower. Once i have headers and my new exhaust, it oughta flow much better and run faster.

Normal cruising is way quicker, 1/4 throttle feels like 2/3 throttle on the origional carb. Where i was doing 35mph with the old carb and manifold, im doing about 55, so i gotta be a little carefull ehehhehehehehehe. thanks for all your help guys, and i will have pics of it all in a couple days!
