Well guys,I got the damn thing fired up today.The motor in the gxl and let me tell you,she needs help.After firing her up and trying to get it to run,she wouldnt idle at all.Starts up stays at 2000 rpm then comes back down and dies.Tried to take her for a spin and warm her up but takes forever to get up to speed an backfires like a bitch.I expect that because all thats on it is the racing beat header right now.Car runs just like a big time clogged cat convertor.Wires are fine,plugs are fine,I am wondering if the distrubutor is off some or,if it is possible i dont have enuff back pressure with just the header on it right now.Any suggestions?ac is gone,powersterring is gone,and air pump is gone now.--Oh by the way,I blew out the seal on the rack,pluged the hoses up and ran the metal lines togethor thinking it would be fine--lol--nope blew out the seal!!!
