One more thing to check - make sure the set timing connector is connected and has continuity from the ign module to the ecm

Checked for continuity and its good. While I was at it I discovered the proper timing set connector. It turns out I was disconnecting the wrong harness. I set the timing to 6* with it disconnected and got my code 42. It advances to 36* full in when I rev to 3000 and bypass connected.

Found the vacuum to FPR disconnected and  I now have 16"hg.

Interesting that the vacuum goes higher at more throttle. I thought it should go down thus allowing more fuel pressure.

I now have 17" vacuum.

I did a brake torque in the garage and managed to spin the back wheel. ;D

Took it for a drive and it seems to be running OK. Its only a little shaky in DRIVE stopped at a light.

I stomped on it when the light changed green and it spun the tires like crazy. I guess it could have something to do with it raining out.  ::)

Can't wait for the rain to stop to see how she goes on dry pavement.





Thanks to Vile Zambonie for all your help.

The rain has stopped and I took her out for a cruise with my buddy Mark. Stopped to drop off a video, pulled a right hand turn with the pedal to the mat and.........chirp. Nothing!
That's it!

Cruised down to my shop to empty trash that's accumulated over the last month and all the while dropping to 2nd ( I don't have a passing gear cable) and stomping on it all the way there. Still a little rough.

Cruised over to wreckers to look for an EGR solenoid. Pulled out to the main road and stomped on her on a right turn and WAHOOOO. She spun the tires a bit.

Cruised around for about an hour and kept abusing the engine. The more I abused it ,the better it ran.

It runs as smooth as silk now and goes like a bat out of heck.

I think its a combination of the computer "learning" again as I cruised around and all that abuse blowing out the carbon that must have been accumulated in the engine.

Goodbye Carburetors forever......RIP.......

Absolutely unbelievable sooth acceleration and power.

Filled up the gas tank and the darn gas was spewing out somewhere by the top of the sending unit. ??? Oh well! I don't care.That will be an easy fix. ;)

I'd like to thank everyone for their input and comments thru this long project.
A special thanks to Vile again. Every comment he made hit dead on.

Yep. I finished the passenger side today. I gotta take it for a little spin tommorow to see if its OK. Should be as they are the heavy duty springs.
I'll get an alignment this week if it feels OK.

I'm still checking the milage. I don't drive it every day. With my 30" tires it doesn't burn too far, but she definately spins the tire. My first tank of gas got real bad milage as I was laying rubber on every takeoff. The second tank when I filled it all the way up was leaking ,so I kept driving like a mad man too burn it off faster.
I'm gonna go for a cruise and fill up to check it out this morning.
