Figured I would post a quick video on my 80' ROW that finally is up and running. As you can see, it runs a bit rough... but considering it didn't run at all until recently, I'm happy with progress. New vacuum lines are definitely in order. Hopefully that remedies the slow acceleration. [sounds like a vacuum leak from within the cabin].

Great job on the progress! Sounds like you have some sticking tappets, pretty normal for a car that has been sitting for a while. They will un-stick once you're able to giver her a good run.

make sure all your fuel injectors are working. I had 2 that were stuck open after my car sat for 10 years. Sounds like you may have 1 or 2 that are closed. Also get a can of break cleaner. If you have any vacume leaks the engine will rev when sprayed with break cleaner. Spray the heck out of your engine I bet you will find where your leaks are.

SeanR, take your time in posting your vids. I still need to do some additional graphic work on the top banner....
