Carb Blues, Gonna Let It Go

Thanks for detailed post, Chief. I'll have to let my brother read it and make sense of it, as I'm not all that savvy with cars. What little I do know, I only learned by having this car break down so much. LOL. You talk about a PCV valve perhaps being stuck open. I don't even know where to look for this part. When I bought my car 5 years ago, I was able to find an original Chrysler shop manual for my /6. It's a really thick, hefty book, costing about $60. The only problem is that the manual doesn't show where any parts are on the car. Sure, it's quite detailed in diagnostic procedures and taking things apart and replacing them, but there isn't one single picture that shows the exact location of any of the parts.
