700 miles in just over a month, I think you like the car alot!!! Make sure your engine has a PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve, it goes on the valve cover and the discharge of the PCV goes to the base of the carburator with a rubber fuel line hose. Cost about five dollars. I am sure it robs .0977894323423 hp, it is an emission device that recirculates crankcase vapors to the carburator to be burned in combustion.

That is the essence of these cars. If you can come to accept that, you will be at peace with the car and will love it. If you can't accept it, it will be back on the market before too long!

Glad you decided to hold onto it and enjoy it.
