OK put the rebuilt Q-jet back on and went for a spin, still have the hesitation and the chirp. Since I have run some of engine additive maybe cat is plugged would that cause hesitation?

I'm pretty sure all the hoses are good as I was able to check that all real good with the carb off.

And still not sure about the egr valve? Plus I guess even though it does not sound it wonder if I do have a bad spark plug. I know last fall when I did change the plugs one was loaded with the white yellow deposits......

Carb looks great though the guy rebuilding it said he never saw one with the anodize still looking like new, light brushing with laquer thinner cleaned it right up.

See and you all laughed about my radio problems.....If you had a kicking sytem like me you could just crank the music a wee bit louder than the chirp...problem solved

You could always put louder exhaust on it! That'll droan out the noises!

if i may add my 2 cents here...ebo it may very well be a clogged exhaust. on my 90 it got clogged and when it idled it sounded great but when you were driving you could feel it working harder and there was a visible drop in power. replaced exhaust and car ran great. they do make a pressure guage that measures the amount of pressure coming out but never saw or used one. if the exhaust system needs changing you may be able to fix your problem easily.

Can you hear it at idle? I had a chirping noise once and it turned out to be a dry water pump bearing...bearing full;y wiped shortly thereafter, but this wouldn't contribute t a stumble...

Can not hear it at idle, days before resistor wires you could hear the RPM thru your radio. Well going down the road it's just like that but it's a chirping sound and it matches the RPM.
