Cool.I hope it runs strong again real soon.

Me too. The carb dude is replacing the shutter valve which was shot, the accel pump which is no good(Thanks rx7goods from ebay) mixture screw, labor and all for $525. Not real bad considering the carb labor, price of the accel pump, shutter valve and labor, and assorted parts and materials(big vacuum hose). It hurts, but only until I hit the pedal hard the first time, hehe.

Well, more problems, and this guy is awesome. One of the ignitors was cracked, the pulley was put on wrong, he put in 3 cans of freon, and it has been found that the fuel pump is bad, what I suspected all along. It supplies the carb enough for one good run, and then there's not enough fuel unless you let it catch up. 1.5 pounds of pressure while idling, measured inline. So Holley here I come!! Yes and a regulator. With all of these pre existing problems, I can only imagine this car hauls *** now. It was always pretty good, but it was being driven daily with mis routed plug wires, a misaligned pulley, and a cracked ignitor. These were there when we got the car at 3-4 years old.,,,,BB

Well, he didn't say over the phone that he needed to crack the carb open again after the fuel pump, but he told me that after I got there. He said he would pick the car up after

I got done, so that will save me $52 for the dolly again. I pulled it off the dolly, and parked it in the driveway. After I got back from returning the dolly I cranked it up to pull it inside the fence. It scared the crap out of me, hehe. In a good way of course. Runs WAY better, and no more bucking. Fuel pump is coming from Summit and should be here Friday or Saturday. 2nd day air. That and the exhaust, and then I get to PRAY it passes emissions. Only one more year on that I believe so no big deal.,,,,BB

vaccum advancement not working

Buzzbomb

Which would have solved which problem? It runs as near to perfect as possible, and he didn't mention anything about the vac advance not working. Mostly all carb problems,

and a cracked ignitor.,,,,BB

wow thats a chunk of change thank god for states like F.l. no emissions. At least not central Fl. I have allways been a holley guy, but recently I went from a half bridge 12a to a stocker with a tweeked out nikki. This guy hooked me up but would not say what he did. No emissions crap of course, mechanical secondaries, and I know he did some work to the intake manifold, lowered the pletnum alittle and made a point in the center just like u gotta do to the rb intakes when your motor is ported. It sounds mean at idle. has a kick as suckig sound, or mini tornado If u will. I never had so mutch fun with a stock set up before,definately new found respect.
