Re: please help

Have you hooked up a scanner and watched the coolant temperature sensor and map ?
The 350 requires more fuel and runs lean unless you swap to tbi truck injectors and have a new calibration made for the ecm.

If there were ordered for a caprice 350 the flow rate is higher the pegs when the injector wires go will be orange for 55#hr injectors.
