89 Formula in Richmond Needs Help

Hey guys,

I've been troubleshooting my intake upgrade for over 3 months now. The car has been on the ramps and I cannot get the car going. Is there anyone around Chester/Rt 10/Richmond Metro that could help me get it running again? It's a TPI car. Other than kneeling at your feet, I'll try and make it worth the while if you can figure out my problem.

I appreciate all help but please, it you don't really know what you're doing (like me) then please don't offer.

Thanks..
Eric

Re: 89 Formula in Richmond Needs Help

Thanks for the reply, but I gave up and ran out of hair to pull out so I turned it over to a mechanic.

Basically I put on a SuperRam manifold, AS&M runners, 30lb Venom injectors, and had FastChip burn me a chip. I don't think it is actually any of those items, rather something stupid and mechanical that I can't find.

Thanks again Bro...
Eric

I know this is a dumb question, but what about timing/distributor in right?

Most probable root cause.
