Yes, I finally have no oil leaks anywhere, and my car is running again. At first it ran like crap. but that was because of a problem with a capacitor for my CAS(only applies to Wolf 3D). 99 cents fixed my problem.

Well, I'm going to give it at least 500 miles with little or no boost, probably 1000 miles. It shouldn't need a break-in, but I want to be safe.



My ignition problem is better, but I think that I really need to get some MSD's and some RB wires.

So your still running a stock ignition? Wow! When I first put a MSD in my old car, I was amazed at the difference it made, especially in the mid-upper range, the power was so much smoother.

I may be able to get some Bosch igniters for free. So I may try those.

I figure that I could use some extra spark because I tend to get too much fuel at low RPMs.

If the mixture itself is too rich it wouldn't burn anyway (fuel alone doesn't burn), but stronger spark could really help on those cars at all RPM's.

I'm not really running too rich, but the spark seems a little too weak.
