as you know , my opinon is , your engine needs lots of work..
no additive will correct this.

Ugh this really sucks. If i end up spending loads of money to get this thing in perfect working order its not even worth it in the end, all of this work and the motor won't even repay me by being just "a little" fast. I hate being stuck with the worst engine ever put in this car. Maybe i'll swap it out with a 454 lol. But probably not, if anything it might have to be a 350 just because i know it works with my ECU or whatever and my transmission, and most important better gas mileage than the 454 i'd assume.
I'm still in school and with my income and the fact that its a carbed 305, its just not worth the money period. I'm still paying off that $1,350 transmission bill too. So at this rate i just gutta deal with it for a while and save for an engine that has potential...
And one more thing, whats going to happen with my engine because of the 10W-40?? You know i stood at autozone for 15 minutes debating on which oil to get..i always make the wrong decision in the end damnit. Because now when the engine idles (i'm not sure exactly how to describe it) but i can hear sort of a ticking noise, it sounds like you can actually hear the crankshaft dipping into the oil or something like that..ugh this is just bad...
