Installed the new spark plug wires yesterday, and my new cv's..

Drove it today, Really had some nice power, Constant steady band, all the way till redline. Drove it for like 10 mins, then noticed some rough idling, Looked down at my temp guage and it read 200 and climed to 210 waiting for a stop light, Drove home imediately and noticed that my vacume advance broke off, fixed it, idle back to normal.

Then I decided i'd check the air fuel ratio with our LM1 unit, WOZERS, at idle when fully warm was 17 or 18, tad warm and it was close to 22!!!! chair.gif

suposed to be 14.5 for maximum eficiency...

So I drove it and did a 3rd gear pull from 1.5k rpm to 5.5k rpm (got to be like 10 seconds MAX.. lol ) and checked air fuel ratio, I think it was hovering around 13 or so, and when on throttle the air fuel ratio would drop drastically, which is good, it would go to 13 on just partial throttle. So, I think I just need to adjust the idle screw.. But if It just doesnt go good enough, im going to get rid of the Q jet, put on the edelbrock intake, and put on the holley carb..

Gona do it before the wcc anyways!!
