   Propane from torches works well, too (DON'T light the propane ;)
   Be careful, obviously.

I am going to check for a manifold leak (if I can figure out how to do
that)

easy thing to check for: If you spray starter spray or carb cleaner spray
around the intake manifold and the engine speeds up, you've got a leak in the
intake manifold. Most likely will be around the intake gasket, but you can ofte
n
locate the area by spraying a little in different areas. Learned this trick
from an old friend in vintage racing.
