ok guys, i consider my swap FINISHED now because i just drove it around the block, however there are some minor problems i noticed during the test drive
first it idled about 1800 rpms, then after driving it it jumped up to 3000 my boost gauge reads 20 vac at idle so i assume no vacuum leaks my power steering doesnt work, this confuses me because everything is hooked up its hard to get it into gear, in fact when i first started it it would not go into gear, then it ended up going into reverse with some force (no grinding though) the car would lurch forward when trying to go into first and reverse when trying to go into reverse. my friend told me to re-bleed the clutch but before i went to do that i went for one more try and it finally went in, the shifting seems to get smoother the more i play with it so maybe it has something to do with the tranny being sitting bone dry for the past few months? at idle my motor shakes a bit, and by a bit i mean that even with my not so vast experience with cars i know it should not do this. btw tomorrow i will have pics and vids of everything, and ill start a before and after thread! edit: jeff, how do you drive withot power steering man, i could hardly reverse into the driveway!

well today i put better gas in it and got some vids/pics (chucky will be workin on those tonight) it doesnt shake at idle anymore, and im pretty sure it doesnt jump up to 3000 rpms when warm anymore, but it still idles at like 1800-2200 and i have no idea why..

There's a little flat head screw you can adjust on the throttle to adjust the idle. Try tightening that. Also, make sure the throttle isn't stuck on something like Lagos said. For me I had a little rubber thing that got stuck everytime I stepped on the gas, so the cable kept getting stuck. BTW congrats on your swap.
