Bea's 62 Dodge Lancer GT

Hey All!

It's been a long time since I've really posted anything on here, but wanted to update you on the Lancer. It's coming right along. A couple of months ago, I installed new carpet and have located/bought the chrome for the 1/4 panels (need to install) This weekend my husband & I put in a new exhaust manifold, changed a few gaskets. Today, I had some time to clean the carburator. I think I did an ok job over all...on a budget right now and really can't afford to put alot of $$$$ into her right now. Here's a pic of the manifold...I painted it (High Temp...of course : )

Now having a problem when I drive it...it's sluggish at times like it doesn't want to go into the next gear (automatic)...any suggestions?

p.s. The truck below...I know...I know...it's a Ford, but it was my Great-Great Uncle's truck and has been in a barn for ever...was lucky enough to aquire it. 1959 Ford F-100 Custom Cab...just thought I'd share.
