tpi troulbe (lean)

noticing a a poping, when i give a little bit of throttle, and it bogs



lean mixture? i was thinking when i give it plenty of gas it revs up fine


also, after getting my idle set for a while it was fine and now it freaking again, up and down up and down


also, how do i tell a wc from a bw trans( t-5)


thanks !

You need to put a volt meter on you O2 sensor(should bounce back and forth from around .3vdc-.6vdc), or start pulling plugs. Thats the only way you'll know lean from rich. -
the only way I know to tel a wc is to have it out. When you're looking at the input shaft, you'll notice the "cap" for the cluster shaft bearing. If it says Torrington on it, then its a regular T-5. If it says Timken, then its a WC T-5. - still(in my opinion) a very weak tranny bhind a V8. - my G-froce straight cut WC came apart in 3rd just like my regular WC's. -

replaced plugs last week, they were very old, and of course delco plugs were black, so hard to tell but i didnt notice it running rich, isnt popping a lean condition?



and yeah i bought the car after the guy before me did the swap, only to find out that it may not be strong enough for me to toy with :/

id hate to have to switch back to an auto



btw got any pics of that true dual system, i hate the single pipe systems
