Default Up and Running... Thank You!

Hi All,

Just a quick word to thank everyone here at the CAC who helped me with my engine misfiring problems (namely, Jack, JohnZ, GerryLP, JHL, Bossvette, Sensei, etc.).

With your help I was able to get the car running better than it has since I've had her! I was a bit nervous for a few days with some sporadic idling and rough idle. But I found out today that 2 plug wires had settled against the headers, and were burned, also the carb base had to be tightended. I replaced the wires, and tightened the carb base... now it's running stronger than ever. I could not have done this without all the advice and support from this forum.

It Sho is fun to drive now that it's running .... it makes driving my RS Camaro feel a go-cart in comparison.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN!!!


Ralph

355ci, modern alum heads, about 10:1 CR and SP CS1062R cam ... with that & the tune up help from the others, that motor probably pulls better numbers than the original L46 while being street-friendly & more fun.
