Hey, shit happens....that's why I went out and bought an old exhaust engine analyzer. Proffesional tuners get big bucks because the test equipment is BIG bucks.
Zeke read the plugs, saw what he believed was a good burn...the mains on the 44s are 160s....fat as hell. It went lean at WOT due to advanced spark....looks as if the dizzy may have moved.....it WAS loose. So....ya fix it and move on. I am very impressed with the detail that Zeke did on the car....hell he did stuff that I would never think of doing. I never saw the car before I went down and bought it....but I knew his rep as being meticulous....when tearing it apart, I was in awe of the craftsmanship.....he put a LOT of work into the car. NOW...I'm gonna do a sixer conversion on it. The bulkhead mount and sheetmetal are on the way from Rich Johnson and a REAL 2.0 "S" motor is coimng from Glen Sager. It's a peaky little buzzy motor, but with the small bore, competitive....160 hp dyno'd..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |
