As for the hoses they are exactly where they were when I took of the original hoses. The carb has one going in on the left side and thats what the manual told me to do. Left side if you are in front of the car.
Well you nailed it and you will never guess where the leak is. I sprayed the carb bottom and nothing. Sprayed all of the fittings on the carb and on the left side of the carb it started revving the engine up. So I then went all around the intake manifold and nothing. I sprayed all of the hoses from end to end and nothing. Then I sprayed on the left side of the intake and it started revving up again. I narrawed down the sprayer so that it only hit the left side of the carb and nothing. Then I focused on the intake in that area and nothing........ right. So then I sprayed around the cover that goes over the port where a thermal tube for a factory carb would be attached and the engine went nuts. I mean it revved up like I had my hand on the throttle cable. One of the best places I could have a leak and easy to fix. So tomorrow I will pull the carb and take that cover off and reseal it. I also noted that when I sprayed around the distributer vacuum advance module I got a bit of a rev too so it might be leaking as well. However the cover I mentioned has to be a serious bad leak. Thank you for the great idea and I will let you guys know tomorrow if the car is running great. BTW, this makes sense because I really really did a great job when installing the intake and the carb gaskets are all new. Wish me luck.
It sounds like the "thermal tube" is the factory choke heat tube that is heated by the exhaust cross over passage cast into the intake manifold. Did sealing it fix the problem? Chuck
