Lemmi, Videos work tonight. I did notice one glaring item that should help... get rid of the Chevy oil breather cap! I think a battery will go a long ways towards resolving your hot start issues. The car sounds good! So let's work on the poor idle problem. Do you know what your low idle rpm is? I note that you have the distributor vacuum line plumbed directly into the intake manifold, rather than the front of the carb. I don't know if that would make a difference in the operation of the distributor or not. I think somewhere I have a link to a good explanation of the carb-distributor-vacuum workings, I will try to find it and post it up. The squeaking might be from the belts slipping. If you rev the engine up does it really squeal louder? To listen to the alternator/ps pump if you cannot get your hands on a mechanics stethoscope, a long screwdriver, extension bar or similar long object will work. Those belts looks really skinny, they are way down inside the pulleys - my guess is that they are slipping. I also noticed that you are missing a piece of the alternator bracket. It is a short piece with a bend in it. It fastens to the bolt at the front of the thermostat housing and runs alongside the bracket off the water pump. Cal
