Started reading another thread and saw that he was having what seemed to be the exact same issue I am having. In park, this car idles like a dream. However in drive or reverse, this car will not idle at all.

I rebuilt the carb and am having the exact same problem as before. I started spraying for vacuum leaks, and I found that when I spray by the runners of my intake, it idles up. When I spray the base of the carb, it idles down.

Now, in drive I have the RPM set somewhere around 1500, in drive, obviously if you see the video I post with this, it tanks. When I am on the gas, the car has NO trouble going seeing as how my neck is kind of sore and I think I have a case of whiplash from punching it....:burnout:

Also, I attached a video showing the play in the shafts of the carb. What do you guys think?

I am not sure on my timing as I haven't had the chance to get a timing light yet, however I am pretty sure I am close to where it needs to be.
