same here. I did the intake manifold job 2 weekends ago. Drove it sporadically during the week and it would "stumble" at periodic times, like it wasn't getting fuel. suspected I got dirt in the fuel lines as I just pulled them out of the way and didn't "bag" them like I usually do. Last Saturday, put the OBD scanner on it and found a "camshaft position sensor circuit" code. Cleared the codes and it popped right back up as soon as I started it. Knew exactly what I didn't do. Opened the hood and I could see the sensor connector laying at the firewall. Yup, forgot to connect it to the distributor. Couldn't see the distributor connector since it was buried behind plugs and harnesses. But, I was able to put it back in by feel. I figure it was running in some kind of default condition but got a little out of whack after a while.
And yeah, night and day difference in the gaskets. I used Fel-pro which I think is the most popular replacement. Sad that auto engineering goes backward on a lot of things. It's not only GM (ask any Ford p/u truck owner whose spark plugs blew out of the head). They're all about putting more electronics and gizmos in the trucks so they can charge more. I don't care about navigation systems in my p/u or Bluetooth for my phone. I want a strong, reliable vehicle that is maintainable.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
