    Now that we're back, I thought I'd post what was up....

    After reinstalling the intake I gained 1" of vacuum, so I did have a small leak. It wasn't the real issue.
    After finding (by accident) it ran fine with the alternator unhooked I replaced it, and guess what.....it still had the same problem.
    I came to the conclusion that it had to be the ignition box (a brand new HyFire VI-AL) so I replaced it with an MSD-6al.....It's run flawlessly since.
    For what ever reason the ignition box could not handle more than 12 volts once it got warmed up.....go figure.....

    Thanks for your time and input......
