I guess the power is good, and the air fuel during hard acceleration is great, but when off the throttle or on during cruising the car goes into a lean condition.

So now I'm getting drunk.

Amen to that... I think if you shared some of that Alcohol with Sledge I bet that wench would start treating you better... Maybe slap the wench around some and teach sledge to give you some RESPECT....

Hand in there....

Blessings,

at this point, unless you have a fuel pressure issue, my guess is the carb has issues. I sure wish I still had my blow through carb, I'd send or drive it down there just to see.

With the carb right the blow throughs run great.

Tony,

with EFI you should not have an issue. The blow through carbs have to be right, otherwise you'll be pulling your hair out.

I have never liked the carb since it came back from the carb shop, but I have little time behind the wheel. I don't know how the carb could be the issue with not enough fuel during light driving. Nothing a few pounds of c4 cant fix though.

Sorry to hear that Mike, I know you are frustrated. I am with Tony, I too am scared, Hopefully better with fuel inection, as Jody said. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Was looking forward to seeing you and your car.
