Gleason Bros. Racing

I was so psyched about getting my new engine and testing it out a few weeks ago. Then I had electrical problems and didn't even run. Then last week I found and fixed the problem, only to have the car run flat and sound like crap. Turns out that I broke 4 mouse springs in the valvetrain. I couldn't even rev the thing up past 7000... on restarts no less. I don't know what I'm doing, but the damn car WILL NOT GO. 

When I first bought the car, I had no issue getting it to go. But it's been on a slow decline ever since, and I really can't blame any of my engine builders. They build nice stuff, but there's something else causing it to be slow. I'm just tired of running in the back, I thought I'd be past this by now. I've put a different carb on it, and fixed anything broken, so I guess I'll have to take it out again tand either embarrass myself again, or get something right.
