Look ma, no leaks!
took about an hour monkeying with it before I figured out that it has to be flush with the block to clear the alternator bracket..
Runs ALOT better now! First it started and actually stayed running! I used to have restart it 4, and 5 times before it'd even idle. THEN I actually got it in gear AND out of the garage AND up the driveway!!!!!!! I drove around for a bout a half hour, city, country, highway, didn't die ONCE!! stoplight it idles so smooth, purrrrrs, then gives a little split second shrug, then smmoooooth again. used to have to pump it and floor it to get it to accelerate, now I can use 100% of the go pedal!! still a touch on and off trying to hold speed, not as bad as it was, doesn't herk and jerk, just a little surgey (if that makes sence?) If the mileage is closer to what it should be, I'm not going to be too worried about it.
