Re: 1977 Olds Delta 88
2 things.......
The hesitation upon acceleration is caused by the carb secondary air doors opening too quickly. Too much air going through the secondaries all at once causes the vacuum signal to be lost at the venturis. This leans out the air fuel mixture going into the engine, just for a second or two.
There is a tiny adjusting screw at the top of the carb which can slow down their opening and eliminate this problem. Some trial and error will be required to get the doors to open at the correct speed.
As for the windshield..... Loctite sells a special silicone in a tube which is thinner than normal silicone and is specifically designed to fix windshield leaks without removing the glass. You place a bead of this stuff over the suspected windshield leak area and it will flow into the gaps and seal them off. You may be able to use this stuff without removing the windshield trim, if you are lucky.
