it seems to be much easier to leave it there than it does to remove it. plus the car runs better with it.

^ that's good to know. I have a bone stock 82 GS and it's so hard for me to leave it stock. It starts up easily every time and keep telling myself to leave it alone.

I'm a big fan of the rat's nest, after removing it one summer and seeing poor performance and terrible gas mileage for three months.

I put it back in and didn't look back.

Are your carbs still stock? My car has also been sitting outside for 10 years i have to clean it as well because it runs for about 30 seconds and bogs out everytime and wont idle.
