So the engine in the '81 is a bone stock 305 with 118K original miles on it currently. 2 months ago, I replaced the transmission cooler lines and 3 weeks ago bled the brakes (it was jerking hard to the right). Ever since I have been back and driving it, it just doesnt have the power it used to (aka: I cant do burnouts anymore like I was known for in high school).

So, I think the carb (2 barrel rochester) needs some attention. I bought a rebuild kit and going to attempt my first carb rebuild tonight. I will post try to post photos after. Not real sure how to properly post photos...

Wish me luck.
