DARN, well today i got my ca running finally, took a long time to get the fuel pumping but it ended in success. anyhow i primed it well. about 4 repititions of 15 seconds., then hooked the fuel pump harness and coil pack harness together, started right up, unfortunatly my gas pedal bracket was adjsuted too tight and when it started it reved to 3k, i quickly pulled it down and readjsuted it so that it was no longer forcing the rpm's to incline. anyhow about a minute or so later i started to hear some valve tick, which was folowed by gresyish white smoke coming from the exhasut manifold side ::NOTE:: that i am missing 1 lower 02 housing elbow bolt. ALSO, at time of rpm incline the motor bogs. rev's and then is followed by Boging.

just wanted some input and feedback to what i should do and look out for. thanks nice and any info would be great.
