Ok some of you already know my deal and im at a loss of wat to do. I have gotten so sick of fidling with this chevy im on my way back to imports very soon. I rebuilt my carb today, perfect i know. Bolted it back on and the car was still acting funny. This time it would start idle high, then low, and eventually knock and shut off. When idling good as soon as i put it in gear it suffocated and died. Extremely pissed off and trying to keep it running i made several attemps restarting the car. Then i noticed smoke coming from the valve covers, i took the vacuum off the valve cover and smoke was coming out it. I wait and a few min later i restart it, still screwed. I could hear the oil in the car boiling when close to the covers, and the little bit of gas that fell on the intake began to boil. At this point im severally upset. I lay the breather in its place on top of the carb, close the hood, and fire it up one more time b4 i go in to see what happens. Still screwed of course and i notice smoke still coming from the hood a few sec later. I put the hood and the shit is in flames, kinda dark looks like the flames were coming from the bottom of the carb. I cease the fire and a breif look over i can tell my breater is ruined. Slam the hood and go inside. Im so pissed
