hey hows it goin?
Hows it going? I'm new to this computer age stuff I opted out in the middle 80's "ah this computer stuff won't take ..and I'm sticking to my LP'S!! " ha was I ever wrong so now I play catch up so pardon the ijnorance.
I started in autobody when I was 12 .pumped gas(full service stations) and migrated into repairs and did some marine detailing and then I found my true calling ..automotive recycling (yup the bone yards) all in all I've worked probally over 100 different jobs and aquired a very innovative and deversified outlook on things. yes... if your wondering at this point I have killed more cars than ive saved (which gives me an edge with my wifes 71 buick skylark)
I love a ricer in the press (they go soooooo flat!!!)
I have a heathy tool addiction and won't start a project without all the tools, knowlegde and supplies on hand and /or readily available.
My boys ZZ TOP said it best... 'been around the block a time or two an I found out only the best will do"
currently I'm trying to get my own personal shop built(know what i need$$$) and its very fustrating working outdoors on a slab with a tarp structure.. hard to get motivated ..
heath issues get in the way too but you learn to deal.
before im done I will do a few restorations/rods and a bunch of other things that also require more than a tarp
I currently own a ;
71 lemans 400 4bbl 350,000 miles (needs a body transplant)
71 skylark 350 2bbl 50,000 miles (wifes daily driver)
77 f 150 460 4bbl ????? new to my crowd
80 elcamino 350 4bbl supossed to be a buick saver for wife
79 f 250 camper spcl 460 4bbl ..5MPG 300,000+ mls (the work horse
85 chevy suburban 3/4 ton 350 4bbl *(my ride)
if I ever became sickly wealthy I would have a different car to drive every day of the year
I missed the muscle car era always thought I should have been born 10 years earlier I do remeber gas @ <$.50 a gal opec is killing us gas hoggers .
man pull out r boys and turn it into one big litter box!!!
gettRRdun!
DO NOT GET ME STARTED

seriously folks thanks for the opportunities and sorry about the spelling
I look foward to learning from all of Ya'll
peace

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
