Okay, I thought I had this sucker whipped, but I need help. When I bought the car it had dual weber 44s, a leaky 1.7, and poor breaking. This is what I have done in the past few months:

Porsche Flywheel
Clutch
Pressure Plate
Pilot bearing
Release Bearing
Shifter bushings
Tore down engine to case, all new seals.
Tranny input shaft seal
Tranny console seal
New rubber mounts
Reman front calipers
Resurfaced rotors
New pads
New front hardlines
New soft lines
19mm Master Cylinder
Rebuilt pedal assembly
Flushed & bled system
Dual dellorto frd34b carbs (rebuilt)
Alum fuel line in tunnel
CB performance 3.5psi pump & filter
Ball joints
Turbo tie rods

That's all I can think of right now, I've done a lot. Right now the engine is much louder than it was before, it sounds like a diesel even though I set all the valve clearances. The engine starts up quickly and idles smooth though, before it took half a can of start fluid to get it going and wouldn't idle. But the biggest problem is when driving. Any moderate throttle you give it, the car bogs down. I've played with the carbs the best I can, can't really tell what I'm doing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I tried to check the timing, but I couldn't see the mark at all even though it;s clearly there. I need some in person help before I go mad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I want this car on the road!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

Any takers? Oh yeah, I'm located in Wylie, northeast of Dallas.
