And yes, you certainly could use the one in your post...
Oh alright I will get one tomorrow.
Thank you.

Re: engine problems, again. urgent update!
I actually got her to stay started and not die out, Just adjusted the idle a tiny bit.
Now she stays started, and I got it in R and D but when I pushed on the gas it wouldn't budge no kick no push nothing just kind of drifted.
I got two videos of the sound cause its still sounding a little sketchy.
Also smoking a lot, gray smoke.
You will see and hear it in the videos.
Here's the videos, i hope you can determine the problems.

To me it sounds like a bad miss. It sounds like a hit and miss motor. Did this smoke just start or has it smoked since you got the engine installed? Misses can be electrical or mechanical. Bad valve adjustment, little or no compression on a cylinder, spark plug not firing on a cylinder etc. The smoke could be a few things. It looked dark to me so I'm gonna say black instead of gray but it is hard to tell. Does the exhaust smell strong of gasoline? Black usually means rich, improperly adjusted float in carb, too much fuel pressure which i wouldn't think since you probably just have a basic parts store fuel pump, a choke staying stuck shut. It seems to me like you probably have a bunch of problems with this engine and without being there it is about impossible for me to tell ya what is going on. There are just too many variables to play internet mechanic.

Yeah it just started, Like yesterday.
I does have a very strong smell to it, it comes out only when I hit the gas and it comes out a lot!
Goodness I just don't know what to do anymore.
But I understand completely, That's what i was afraid of.
have you checked your firing order, when i got my exhaust done i forgot I had crossed the plugs as a security measure and when i was trying to start it it would run like that cause two cylinders werent firing and the gas was being burned as it came out of the exhuast. Just an idea

Are you saying check the plugs to see if there all in order?
But I will check that as well if that's not what you mean.
Yea hes saying to check the firing order. It is pretty basic and a good idea. They are easy to mistake and have an engine that misses. Follow the number 1 cylinder plug wire back to the distributor and go from there. Then find the number 8 cylinder and follow it to the distributor and make sure they are in proper order, etc.

That's what I thought he was saying.
That's easy and I will go check right now.
Thanks guys.
have you messed around with the order of the wires? I was looking thru the photobucket pictures and they look like they were switched in different pictures
also did you plug this thermal vacuum switch port? it could be causing your vacuum leak
