Well thank u for that...Im starting to think its the spacer/adapter I never torqued it down ...I only torqued the carb on....And in ohio it gets hot then cold in the matter of a few hours....Could the fact that its aluminum on steel have anything to do with my problome?

If the throttle plates are closed and you have the correct carb base gasket on there, then you have a vacuum leak from another source for it to be running at such high rpm.

Redneck, The heads/gaskets are not going to be the problem to your running at full throttle, there may be a leak or something, but it is not the source of this problem. Go back & read what everyone has posted & think through it carefully. As autorepr,86 Silverado, Vile, Me & others have mentioned, This is a simple problem that your looking at & not seeing, Period! Do you know anyone you can borrow a Q-jet from? Trying to eliminate your spacer rig from the mix. As already said, check the gaskets (between the intake-spacer & spacer-carb for an area that isn't sealing). One thing I would like you to do, unhook the Red "hot" wire on the distributor,unbolt the carb, find a couple sockets to use as spacers over the carb bolts/studs (so you can see the bottom of the carb between the intake) have someone crank the engine. Is there fuel coming out? If you were in the next town I'd come over & help you sort this thing out. Where is Barberton? Lorne

Barberton is next to akron...So if the intake manifold is leaking it wouldnt make it idle that high? So it would have to be above that as in the Spacer or carb gaskit?

Redneck, What I'm saying is the coolant leak can not make your engine run at high RPM. Now a crack into the air passages in the intake (air leak/vac. leak) can contribute to this RPM problem, however to the extreme you are talking about, I feel there has to be additional fuel involved here also.
