That is awesome that you got that car running again so quickly!

You are suffering from the power robbing effects of mouse build up in your
exhaust system. Couple long trips might burn more of it out.

Did you check for similar obstructions in the intake system?

Great work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks John!

I put my webers on it, so there's no issue with the intakes (other than the inside of the heads has the texture of dried cottage cheese).

The process seemed slow, but part of that is I had the engine re-sealed as it was obviously leaking badly when it was parked. It's dry now, so I'm happy I did that.

I agree that it will burn out all the mousey stuff eventually. I'm honestly not worried, just happy I can drive.
