Thanks guys,
I had a monster vacuum leak that was spoiling my fun.
Amazing difference in idle.
Drove her and discovered the carb linkage was too close to the hood...
Throttle locked wfo when the engine torqued into the hood :oops:
Thanks for the kind words! I should FINALLY have this bucket of bolts on a drag strip within a couple of weeks. Then we'll see if alll this mechanical mayhem was worth the effort...
