Replaced the governor, vacuum modulator, applied the major tuneup kit
for automatics, flushed the fuel lines, and replaced the control
pressure regulator. Now I have two new symptoms, everyone - give me
your best ideas.

A/C. I will let everyone know as soon as I can if they are coming on
when flipping on the A/C. The car dumped ALOT of coolant with light
smoke coming out the very back rear-end. (This is after the car has
been driven for 25+ minutes)

around 900-1100 rpm. Now it's idling around 1500rpm-2400rpm. It gets
progressively worse; the car doesn't idle anywhere near that high when
first turned on. It goes from low rpms to high rpms as the car warms up.

I just today got the workshop manual, so please excuse me if I sound
completely naive; I haven't even been able to look at the manual yet.
