I am sorry I have never dealt with this.[/quote]

no its internal on mine i had the glass filter and before it was barely half full when it shoulda been full.. i always thought it either worked or it didnt but i was wrong it had a rip in the diaphram so its was working but barely.. kinda like a hole in a plunger.. it will stil work but not good.. brand new there only like 30 bucks i just replaced mine... but after all the money i spent chasing the problem ie tuneup, rebuilt carb etc.. 30 bucks wasnt nothin...

It sounds like a vacuum problem. Stick a screwdriver in the carburator to have it open. Can you post pics how to do you have the vacuum lines connected. Where you from someone can go help you out.

One thing I gotta ask here is, did you use a gasket between the carb and spacer, not the spacer and intake but carb and spacer? I ask because I can't really see one in the picture but it is later and I'm so tired I can barely see straight. As far as the choke I dunno man, that is weird. You have 12 volts going to it so maybe it is an adjustment issue. I will see if I can download the manual and send the text to you in a pm.

remove the power feed to the distributor so you can leave the key in the on position without the car running and watch the rod that goes to the choke to see if it pulls the airvalve open.

I will definitely check that out, I went to sleep last night early so never got out there.
But That's what I did oil change, transmission fluid gasket and filter.
I done it all and thought it would solve it but nope.
Thanks and I will tell you when I get back in.
