Congrats on the car, it looks real clean!

I'm just curious at what rpm does the tranny shift up when it is in drive?

You can always throw a k&N filter on there to help it breath a little better.

floored the tranny shifts at about 5900, otherwise it shifts under 3000 most of the time...thanks for all the compliments people, i love the car myself, just wish it was faster.

"nnaawwwwssss"

here's another question...a lot of the time after i start it it idles oddly, and drives a little wierd...the engine will pulse...if you look at the tach, it will jump a little then go back down then jump a little, at idle and just driving along...it goes away after about 10 minutes of driving, but i don't know what it is..is it a timing problem?

does the1st gen havea tps sensor. i dont know **** about them. if it does i would try adjusting it and see if that still happens. had the same problem w/ my TII and it went away when i adjusted the TPS correctly. Congrats on the car and damn it has a clean body.

Carburated wont have a TPS on it...It has a manual choke if it is stock..let it warm up..it will run about 3 k for 3 mins, then drop down ...I would recommend staying park and let it idle and warm up till you know what you are doing..

If this happends after your engine is warmed up..then check your spark...plug /wires/ timing...



Carb adjustments..etc..

Pull the contacts on the ignitors and clean them. The tach reads off of the trailing ignitor, so you might get away with just cleaning that one. Pull the contacts off the coils and do likewise. It's a safe bet nobody's done it in the past decade... B)

thanks for all the help and the compliments, but don't tell me about how sweet the body is, that's thanks to the old lady that owned it before me B)

ok now i'm just distraught...i started it up today, and it sputtered..and it died...and it happened again...and again...and i waited, and came back and it started and i let it run for a bit, then put it died as i was backing out of my driveway
