Well the Vaccuum test plug WAS on top of the intake manifold. I tested vaccuum it was steady at 18psi. I removed the drain plug from the fuel filter, and some large rust particals fell out. Everything is running better now. The hesitation on acceleration is gone, and I can blip the engine. I still get a jutter when accelerating so I will pull the drain plug from the fuel tank to see what's in there. I am planning on a valve adjustment soon too. This car sat for 20 years mostly after it was rebuilt, and it looks like a good clean, and adjustment may set it right. I noticed that there is a short between the starter switch on the carb, and the wire going to the heater fan. Some times the fan just come on be itself. This started after I rebuilt the carb. I must have flexed the wires
