Did you use grease or the supplied "whale snot"? Imagine clear/whiteish grease but 20x thicker consistency....

Sorry, no Slick78. Figure that might be his issue by using the wrong grease...

Finished cleaning the carb.. again.. I flushed all the lines and got a new filters, and I keep getting trash in the carb.. I think I narrowed it down to the K&N lid... It hasnt been cleaned in forever.... Im thinking (hoping) there is loose dirt on it from sitting for a while.... and getting in through the vent tube... It happens every few days of driving..... I swapped out carbs from the Trans Am to the Monte, and see what happens....

Slick78-did you torque the bolts down or just tighten them up with an impac? Overtightening will cause the bushings to squeak.

That would be your problem. But dont feel bad, I did the same thing when I did mine LOL You may have to reapply the "grease" too. Let me see if I can find the link.... http://www.maliburacing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=82355
