So I still have my hesitation, I checked the plugs to make sure all was connected, rechecked the firing order, thats all good. Put my trusty Champion spark plug pen on the wires when car was running to make sure wires were sending voltage to the plugs (love that antique pen) seperated the #5 & #7 wires to make sure they are not cross fireing.
When it's in 3rd gear overdrive (Auto) and has any slight hill to climb it bucks slightly, no back fires, if I shift it down its better.
Had the tops off the other day (took ebo woman to lunch topless) I could here a chirping sound matching the tune of the RPM's of the transmission.........
So now I'm thinking I may have knocked a vacume line off...or the "Rook" cut one of my hoses.
Thoughts.............I know Joel nuttin a match can't fix!

Bucking, May be the carb. It is called a "Tip in stumble". Worn carb at a certain RPM. Gas at the top of the plate does not match the vaccume at bottom, or vice versa. Solved mine with a re-build.
   The chip could be a "U" joint goin bad/dry. Rock it back and forth on flat ground by hand and see if ya feel any grateing or roughness in the tire or driveline.  DO NOT run it with tires off the ground, NOT GOOD for the half shafts/U-joints. Then do a process of elimination.  LOL

Mark I was thinking carb, this car sat for so long it may have some gumming or crude comming loose now that it's getting some miles on it. I'm going to try and look at it today after work. I'll see if I can here the chirping while its in park. All U- Joints are original...........Maybe you need to come up a few day's early at the end of the month.....LOL

Why waste a match?

A "chirping" noise, along with the bucking/hesitation, kinda sounds like an EGR issue, but it could very well be a vacuum leak...somewhere. Your mission, Mr. Phelps, should you decide to accept, is to find said vacuum leak, and repair. As always, if you, or any of your vacuum impossible crew should be found and fixed, we shall disavow any knowledge of your existence.... Geek

And...maybe check the carb baseplate/gasket...

A 3 speed overdrive?

The tip in as Mark puts it is a setting in the carb that is done with those GM tools..I don't have....the stumble very well may be the egr valve not fully closed or maybe slightly stuck open..plate off the egr and see if it goes away..

Remove the egr valve and put a plate over it ..I think mr gasket sells them at auto zone..sometimes they stick just a little bit..or are getting vacuum when they shouldn't..can be enough dilution to create a stumble..or vacuum advance is acting up also..

If your EGR valve is in any way connected to the valve cover, I think we've found your problem!
The EGR valve is bolted to the intake manifold, pass side, just to the rear of the carb. I think you may be confusing EGR valve with the PCV valve, which DOES go into the valve cover.

Dang tex you is gooooddddd!

Yes I was duh...sorry I checked all the hose tonight and everything is connected PCV rattled fine. Then I started thinkin...that happens only on a full moon like tonight. "They said EGR...not PCV"

And I searched out a thread here from Keyster explaining how to check the EGR valve while the car is running it was from 2005 and pretty detailed. So you done have sum of dat ESP goin as You must ta known I was readin bout it.............

I'll check the EGR tomorrow night.

Thanks so much for kickin me to wake me up!

You da man!

OK first test worked just like Ken said, push up from bottom of valve and car wants to die out. I'm off to a cruise night so will try next check when I get home and ebo woman can work the throttle for me.

 let me clarify....The Gas pedal......man I should know better to pick my wordsConfused

Albo, you could still have an issue with the EGR, even tho it wants to die when you lift the diaphragm. It could have a small chunk of doo-doo(hi-tek term for crap) in it that will not let it seat fully, and cause weird prollems.
The chirp noise may or may not be associated with the EGR, but...if there has been a leak in the EGR for a while it can lead to the base gasket of the carbatator burning out, and THAT can cause a chirp noise.

Joel, car ran pretty crapy tonight lots of hesitation, when I accelerate it goes but when you just cruise you feel it holding back.

Good friend of mine in our vette club is an older retired mac tool salesman, he's fantastic on Carbs. He asked me when the last time the carb was kitted and I said never. He said I think it is deserving of a kit. I'll pull the carb this weekend and have him rebuild it. Coming down hill to my drive way I down shifted to 2nd and it chirped then also, almost seems like an exhaust leak. When it goes through the gears its in puurrrfect harmony with the RPM's

So how much are EGR valves is it a no brainer to just replace it anyhow?

EGR is a simple bolt off/bolt on deal...assuming the bolts are not seized in the intake. Soak em down well before trying to remove them.

The chirping could be an exhaust leak, depending on whether or not you have metal gaskets on the manifolds where they bolt to the heads. They can "whistle" at times, and it may get worse when you let off the pedal. IF you have a catalytic converter that is semi-stopped up, the extra backpressure could also cause an exhaust leak to make a whistle/chirp noise....as could a lonely cricket under the seat....

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 thoughBig smile 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.

Car is drivable but anoying.....Confused

See now this is why nobody joins Wink
 
I know it can only be a few things, I had a bad dream last night I was driving along and the car just died......Confused whats up with that.
Might be tied into what happened at home friday, my 13 yr old son (sorry off topic, refer to first sentice) was running my 3 yr old troy built power washer with a 5 hp Honda engine. All of a sudden it started blowing blue smoke and shut offAngry
Once cooled down I tryed to pull it over, it will pull over and do not hear any clanking but it will not fire and it smell of gear oil?    
I'll mess with the car some more if I get a chance, I may have to get under it and pull the plugs, I hate the thought of dealing with those heat shieldsOuch

Paul sorry...duly noted dang Rook made me say it.Big smile
All vacume lines looked great no brittleness or swelling or cracking, the engine bay did not see daylight for years. The chirping noise is what puzzles me it is matched to the RPM speeds up untill shift then speeds up untill shift.
I'm thinking of replacing the egr valve they run between 30 and 120 bucks depending where you buy.

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.
Exhaust seems good no rust, not loud, I lose the stumble if I accelerate.
