There is a vacuum line going to the choke mechanism, I used that to check the vacuum. It was steady and at about 22 MM. I drove it for about 25 minutes today, still smoked at speeds above 45 with fumes inside of the cabin coming from the (now line running into the breather). It seems to stop smoking as I previously said after driving about 20 minutes.
I can tell it runs better, cranks up quickly, I set the carburetor and idle speed before I left to drive. After it warmed up to operating temps it would idle too fast. I idled it down after getting home and plan to let her cool off and crank up again and see how it does.
It used to backfire like inside of the manifold when I would let off of the gas at 45 MPH, now it hardly does that.
I need to check the compressions but maybe tomorrow, I am just too tired now.
