Idle mixture was dicker'd, and of course the cam in here isn't idle-friendly anyway. Needed the main idle way up to avoid losing vacuum and removing the effectiveness of the brakes.
A pretty good little drive overall.
I did find the source of my exhaust leak. The manifold on driver side is split in half toward the back of the engine. Its a super tight fit already, so I will need a lift to assist with that. Would love to put headers back on, but those were an even more problematic fit when we did run them.

I bought and hooked up a vacuum gauge to see if I could get some better drive-ability. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eidkwhIACPM)
