update: intake o rings
#52
Aright guys, after all, i found out the clamp that holds the runner hose to the metal one near the hood latch(top of engine bay) was loose. Tightened it up and no leaks. So thats fixed. Well, so another problem, I startup car, sounds good, and everything, but when i put the choke in all the way the car dies when it gets below 1k rpm. I'll try and keep it up but its like late respone. I'm thinking the carb needs rebuilt or something? Also, pretty much every gear when i floor it it like bogs. This problem has just happened after fixing the other problems. Help guys, im almost there and i freaking can't wait to cruise around again(in manual). Should i just mess with the idle screw/mixture screw? oh and the car also bogs whenever it wants, but mainly when on gas pedal. also vibrates too. Thanks guys for helping me get through this. God bless

Replace all the cheap stuff before you even ask. Fuel filters, plugs, rotor, and anything else thats yearly maitenance. Then go from there. If its bogging it could be any of those things, including air trapped in the cooling system if it just started after you fixed that. Anyways.

Yes, i know. its just been really frustrating since i haven't been able to enjoy my car. i will prolly go get the fuel filter sometime soon. maybe too late tonight. spark plugs are brand new and torqued to appropriate ft lbs. I hope its the fuel filter well see tomorrow. thanks guys and keep the suggestions coming. God bless

new fuel filter on now. before i went and bought the fuel filter i started her up let up to operating temp drove it around the block a few times and pulled her back in the garage. then let off gas. she IDLED. it was rough, but she didn't die like before, I didn't do anything either. the idle was high, so i adjusted it to like 800 rpm and still little rough. messed with mixture and its a little better. Hopefully its ready.
