Hey, all. I've been here before years ago on and off. I usually had fre=
e
email so my space was limited and I had to keep subscribing and
unsubscribing. Now I have my own darn website with tons of server space,=
so
let the big digests roll in!=0D
=0D
I'll be cruising and reading and trying to gain my info without asking th=
e
stupid new guy questions, but my goal is to do an inexpensive reliable EF=
I
on two vehicles, a 73 Impala Station Wagon with a 454 and a 66 Bonneville
with a Caddy 500. The Caddy 500 can be way down the road since it is
running well right now with a Q-jet.=0D
=0D
My problem is that I am a very poor carb tuner... especially when it come=
s
to the complex Qjets. I just built the 454 for the wagon and it is way o=
ut
of whack. I went edelbrock dual plane, better factory heads, headers, 2.=
5"
duals, and a cam in the mid 230s duration. The carb is a little confused
right now. :)=0D
=0D
I'm quite a gearhead and I know the mechanical parts, like what sensors a=
nd
injectors I need, but I lack the knowledge of how to do it inexpensively,=
so
that's where I'll be relying on you folks. Thanks for letting me in ;)=0D
