So, I've been driving a week since the manifold was swapped. This includes a 300 mile/4 hour trip in the summer heat (say 100* average). The oil stayed full, as did the radiator, but something is dripping a little and I think it might be the fuel line where it connects to the carb.
As to how it runs: okay. Can't quite get it tuned right, including the choke. Kind of chugs and surges, even when warm. And the brakes are crappy.
Problem: one of the vacuum hoses is clearly in the wrong spot or not sealing fully. Who knows which one since it's basically a cluster***k of hoses under there. As to the brakes.... it feels like they need to be bled to get some air out which might have happened when we reconnected the vacuum assist but I'm not sure.
Lots of work still to do.
