What is the chronological order of the intake work and the replacement of the trans?
First: Transmission exchange. Replaced it with a Sun Valley rebuild. Old one was smoking, no power issues.

Second: Power issues appeared. Mechanic blamed Plenum Seals. I did the job over a three month period. Seals were bad, also found a cracked hose under the fuel distributor.

Third: Upon starting, the power problems persisted.

Just did a vacuum test by the EZL: It is receiveing strong vacuum, so this is not the issue. Suspect bad EZL... (timing not advancing with increased rpm)
