Ok here is what was wrong with the car! It was a bad carbie, she was wrapped where the carbie mets the spacer and it was sucking way to much air. We had the carbie gasket replaced and it still sucked through causing all the trouble again.

The people that had the car before me must have known about this issue cause they said the the carbie needed looking at but never said it was gone. (there was someother issues with it as well).

There where vacum hoses and air lines in the complete wrongs spots, causing issues and to top it all of the manifold bypass hose fitting was corroided and needed tapping and drilling.

The main issue was that I could not find a TR carbie on the coast, we rang wrecker after wrecker and nothing. One guy told as that he had one so we drove out there paid for it $125 then took it to the mechanic where after being there most the day found out it was the TP carbie and that we had been ripped of.

We found one at a magna wrecker which was on a car that was under finance and could not touch it, but he found another one which we where told $125. We rang back the next day to make sure that the part had a warrenty and he told us that the carbie was now $250 cause my wife mentioned that they where so hard to find.

Long story short the car is back up and running awesome and going strong!
