This is in regards to my 64 Monza 110 4spd daily driver and Here is my quandry.

Over the weekend, I washed the inside of the engione comartment with soap/water.  I then removed the carbs, fuel pump, top cover, shoud,  and alt/gen adapter.  I cleaned all of them in the parts washer.  I have an oil leak somewhere under the top shroud.

I replaced both gaskets on the top cover and the o-ring on the vent tube.  I cleaned off the outside of the carbs (as they were greasy), cleaned everything up, and put it back together.  drove it home 10 miles with no problems.

When I drive it the next time, I am getting an excelleration miss.  Let me describe it.  The car seems to idle just fine.  the engine seems to rev just fine in neutral.  When I start out, if I push down normally on the gas pedal, it coughs and sputters but will accelerate a bit.  If I just barely push down, it doesn't cough.

what should I check and in what order?

Thanks
