Well this is kinda a bummer. I gt it all sorted out, minus the Kickdown, and fired it up. Runs a lot better than my old Aotolite 2 barrel, but the Idle is a bit high. after running up the street a bit I noticed that my Vac gage is reading onl at 5psi. It normally runs at 20. Hmm, now what could that hissing noise under the hood be? pull back in the garage and pop the hood.... well the rear end cap gave out and was bleeding oil ALL OVER the tranny and engine, as well as droping Vacume. the wife is tired of me working out there tonight so It will have to wait untill tomorrow after work before I can fix it.

Darn it, Ive been looking forward to running this car and now I have to wait again... Oh well.

Mike
