I just rebuilt the carb on the tercel, while I was putting the 4a in. I took the car out for a drive today, and it was sputtering away. I couldn't get over 45mph. I got back and checked the timing, it was good, but while we were checking it, we noticed that when ever the engine would miss we could see gas coming out the air cleaner on the top of the carb. Any Ideas on what it could be?

Never mind, I figured it out. After running the motor for a few minutes, the locking nuts on the rocker arms worked loose. One was completely off, that was what was causing my problems.
