So, a couple weeks ago I took it over to Johnny B's and we messed with it and made it run a little better, but still not 100%. He made a comment after he took it for a spin that it feels like the exhaust is plugged, so I pulled the cat out, which was gutted by the previous owner, and it felt stronger, and was MUCH louder. I didn't drive it too much with the cat off and out of courtesy to my neighbors in the apt complex, I put the cat back on. I made an appointment to get the exhaust done from the cat back for last Friday, but I didn't make it cause it stalled out a mile down the road.

Once I got it started again, out of frustration I searched for a shop and limped it there. I had to keep my foot in the gas at all times to keep the revs up. LOTS of heel-toe shifting/stopping for about 2 miles. According to them, the carb is just dumping fuel and flooding the cylinders, and they also found that my fuel pump (which is new from AutoZone)is either weak or I have an air leak in the supply lines somewhere.

So, before I rule out the carb, I guess I'll be checking vacuum line routing and vacuuum actuators and searching for a leak in my fuel lines.
