Think they all can be made to do similar mileage. But right now cruising @ 14.7 on the wideband the proflo pulls down 17-18mpg. That's sequential injection as well. The carb used to do 22-25 and had a ... |

The OTC scanner to PC hookup was a bust. They made software for it, but all I had was a demo. They want far too much on ebay for the software.

Resistor seems to be working. No SES light popping up or anything. I'm thinking now I should be able to add wideband support(not functional) for tuning. I'll have to identify a 5v sensor I'm no longer ... |

Definitely doing things different. Been sort of disappointed since putting on the E heads and bigger camshaft. No matter how much I reworked the Qjet idle circuit it was never stable, and the whole th ... |

Used to like S&J from Spokane.. Used to. Every engine for quite awhile has had issues, so stay away.
We've switched to Jasper, but have only sold a couple since the switch. |

Still a sweet little car! Had me entertaining trade ideas, but I'm sure you've got your eye set on something allready. Be sure to show it off when you get it.
Good luck on your sale. |
