OK Guys,

I took the velle out today and all is well. I get into it a couple of times at around 4000 RPM and back down to 2000 RPM and just cruising it. Trying to get the rings to seat well. got about 500 miles on the motor.

Well, As I am approaching my house I get into it and its just bogging down, The rpm's go from 2000 to 3000 and the car isn't going anywhere. So I just cruise it back to the house. I parked the thing and I go hit the throttle and all is strong, no bogging no misfire, I get into it and put in in drive and wants it's in gear the car doesn't want to respond the way it was earlier. Is it a carb issue or Tranny issue.
I just had the Carb (Tuned) worked on with a new acc, pump new jets

what happened?

Well, Think I found the issue, May be a loose fitting not getting enough gas.
