Whose car was I working on

at the hotel. The picture shows I have the hood up. I remember loaning them my scantool (which I got back) and I remember fixing some vacuum leaks. Just wondering who it was and how the car is running.

btw, I have the 16" rims and tires for sale that we talked about.

It was me. The car is running fine now, after the fuel pump was replaced, that is. That seems to of taken care of all the troulbe it was giving me. Not running lean anymore, or heating up and trying to die. Also ended up replacing all the vacuum hoses. Running like a dream once again. Thanks for your help that weekend.

Well I'm glad to hear its running ok again. I'm also glad I was right about it running lean, causing it to run hot

Replacing the vacuum lines was a pain I know, but well worth it I see.

and no problem about the help. Glad to do it. Just wish I could have done more.

I sent you an email about the wheels if you are still interested.

Yup, Traxion emailed me the bins, I burned them and the car was running great..........

now I think I might have either a dead plug, dead injector or busted valve spring....

no tuning is going to take care of that

Busted valve springs suck. I actually pulled my 305 because I thought a cyclinder was dead...it was just a broken spring LOL.

Oh well it gave me an excuse to get a 350. Which needs heads and cam in a bad way.
