    I checked the choke which was not open all the way and then I checked the throttle cable which was not opening the secondaries all the way. It helps to do the basics. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP. It goes WOOOOOM now and is pretty angry:D:D:D

    what does it do in neutral? will it rev out? does choke on or off help? that hei dosent have a rev limiter or msd box does it? if it stays smooth when it flat lines ii think its not air/fuel related. make sure you linkage is free and the primaries and secondaries are fully open at wide open with the pedal in the car. keep looking man, you'll find it.

    Nice to see a post where someone lets us know when they found the solution. It's good to hear that thing is running like it should be, and with no dollars out of you pocket.

    Its runs great and this fix also I believe that it fixes my getting hot in stop and go traffic. Saturday night I drove her to get my kids at a school function she only got up to about 135-140 .It was about 45 degrees outside. on Sunday she stayed below 160 . I think it was running lean under normal driving conditions causing her to run warm. Shes a very angry girl now and likes to keep her cool. This has been a long adventure for me and evryone has been a great help. I have tried alot of things to get her cool.A constant learning experiance. Now its time to burn some fuel.
