great.. I found the problem

After chasing down Vac leaks, and annoiing trouble code.. here what I found out..

last owner was a F*^^(^&$ A ..
Had the timing set to 20*BTDC ( Boy did the RPMs go way up after restetting this )
had the TB set all wrong ( took 2 hours to get it back right )

Now it starts great, Idles like a dream.. and get out of its way nicly.. ( still need a Cat ) but otherwise running great :d

Thanks for all your help and tips..
