check your ignition module, and coil. Then check your fuel pressure.


I doubt it's anything major engine related

Problem solved!!! it was the holley carb i had on it, it needed a rebuild but i went ahead and upgraded to a custom holley 780 cfm double pumper custom made carberator with a milled butterfly valve, its about the same as the holley hp with holley parts on that beast, fuel milage goes down yes but i can find someone to pay for my gas and fall for my sleeperish looks
