Gang,

   Anyone have a used 5-speed for sale? If so, please
contact my list-impaired buddy, Mike Koken
(james.m.koken@gte.net) or myself. Thanks. 

   Also - what causes backfiring? 
   I replaced my (bad bushings) throttle body's with 
used ones in better condition - put everything else 
back (floats, needles, plunger, etc), except
choke/jet.
Ran fine before except idle (a little ragged, vapor 
locked and dieseled at stop). Now it runs amazingly!!
EXCEPT, on hard decelleration it does this pop-pop-
poppety-poppety-pop-pop kinda thing. What causes that?

I assume it's carbs/mix, but just wondered what was 
actually going on. thanks. 

   Well heck, while I'm on a roll: what causes the 
plunger oil to 'leak'? For that matter, where does it 
go? I'm having to top mine off every 1000 miles or so 
(before AND after body-swap). I had a '65 Volvo 122S 
that never needed oil- checked it whenever I tuned it.
I run tranny oil.. thanks. 

dan.
