Alright guys...
My voltage is reading steady 16 on the guage while car is running. The battery is boiling over every time I crank. also if you are on the gas and let off, the rpms drop till the engine almost dies then comes back to 900 immediately? Vaccuum advance doing that?

Something is seriously wrong with yor charging system. Probably your voltage regulator. Fix that, and your idle problem may go away too. Your battery should never see over about 14.5 volts. You will probably need a new battery... Get a sealed unit like an optima, so you don't rust your car to pieces. Also, spread plenty of baking soda all over under the battery, and sprinkle with water... keep doing that until the fizzing stops, then rinse well.
