Your talkn about the Pan on the intake right? Mine was bolted on to the intake. I tried to pull it off wouldn't budge. So i cut it off. Think its ok with out that part? it was pretty dirty.34 years of grime.

hey dude, as far as the stalling, you might have dirt in ur jets, get a carb rebuild kit, and go to carquest, get 2+2 carb cleaner best cleaner ever made, take the carb apart, and spray the jets, and stuff out with 2+2, then rebuild it

Hey guys. i put my manifold back on i cleaned it and stuff got a new gasket for it put all on. My distributor don't seem likes its going back into place. my pops and i tried the piston thing (suck or blow) It might be in place not sure but now it doesn't startup. we checked if there was any spark getting to it. there wasn't so got new spark plug cables. new ign coil and rotor cap still isn;t gettin spark. So back to autozone went and got distributor cap and point set. i havn't installed those yet but im hopein they work any other suggestions?

Somebody was telling you a story about 91 having more air in it, octane rating is nothing more than resistance to denotation ie spark knock. The higher the octane the harder the fuel is to burn, this may seem odd but this is how it is. Denotation, spark knock & pre ignition are nothing more than the cylinder firing before the plug fires, this happens because of heat and pressure. This is the same principal that diesel engines run on they don't have spark plugs they have glow plugs, that are only used for starting and are basically mini heaters. As far as your problem GET RID OF YOUR POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go to the junk yard and pull an HEI out of a newer car, truck, van, suv up till about 84. It'll drop right in and the advance will be about right and be better than the points.
