I'll have to check the cold maf number tommorow. I drove the car today and there wasn't any starting issues, idle iac read 20 when I looked. A little while later it. was like 60 or80, both readings were in park. I picked up a new iac and might throw it in.

We might have used nason if they had local distributor. we're definitely going to use epoxy. Paint is just crazy expensive these days . dp 40 is supposedly 400 for two gallons, kirker epoxy is 100.

There seems to be divergent opinions on who makes Eastwood paint, most seem to say it's kirker though.

My.gauge turns off when car shuts down.however after I turned key on pump primes to forty and holds steady for. a minute or two until I got bored of looking. My experience of leaky injector or flooding is that car won't fire at all, whearas currently the car fires but doesn' stay running unless I hold the throttle down a little.
Also I just started the car and it fired perfectly and stayed running fine.when it. warmed up. my iac. was 32 .

Exactly 40 psi today at koeo today before cranking. Fired right up too, seems intermittent but more problematic when hot maybe. screw is 1.5 tthreads exposed so maybe I'll throw on an iac on if I can get one at store. it developed over winter so not likely to be adjustment issue I guess,.

Yep park and ac off. Sometimes the car cranks then fires momentarily, then just dies . It won't. stay running unless I hold the gas a little, then it stays running normally.
I'll try to reset the iac tomorrow.

OK, Idrove the car today and after it was warm it looked to me like o2s at idle ranged from 814 to 820.

Af 06
L8 43

Int 128
Bl 122
MPH 0
Clt 167
Ats 97

Just to clarify things a little I do have eric's chip, I think it's a TT 5.7 but not 100% sure because I don't have the documentation handy now. I was able to dig up an email that states that the chip is intended for a stock setup with 16- 18 psi boost. My injectors are 42 lb, so my sig is slightly off.
I am running the same setup that I worked up to 19 psi boost on my gauge last year, and I never had KR then under similar situation. I got scared and backed off the boost a little, shooting for the 17 or so when it showed on the SM, so something must have changed over winter? Also, it never showed any in the low gears, just one time on the highway in 3rd gear. I don't like my boost gauge, it goes to 60 psi so doesn't have great fidelity. Also I noticed that my boost spikes up and then settles back maybe 2-3 psi. Maybe it spiked more than the 17 psi? I am shooting for it to peak at 17 and settle to 15 or so.
The fuel pressure always shoots up to just above 60 under boost and is steady now with the new 340 pump, not like the old one. At idle fuel pressure was 41 with the vacuum tube hooked up, I think it would go up a couple when I removed the vac tube if I remember correctly. I can 2X check with tube off again but I bet it's close.
I'll have to double check the IAC and TPS values again to make sure nothing has changed, I haven't driven the car today. One thing that is a new development is that when the car is warm sometimes the engine will fire then immediately die. I've had to give it a tiny bit of gas to keep it running when it does this. Also during my drive yesterday under acceleration, one time the motor started to misfire and the SES light illuminated briefly. There were no MAL codes that I saw stored on the SM unless I was doing something wrong. I scrolled through almost immediately so I was surprised that nothing showed.
We had rain today so car is garaged, so I'll try to do what you guys suggest next time I have it out. Maybe Saturday.
Thanks

It's probably more accurately described as a bushing I think, the one I was referring to I pressed into the pump half. I think maybe it supported the stator tube but I'm not 100% sure now that it's back in the car. The hardened stator support tube came with a bushing already installed.

Yeah I suggested spi and even offered to donate my epoxy primer to no avail! Guess we found the only kirker fan? .he's used it and likes it and is on a tight budget.

Wow canal Fulton, right down the street. We had a field trip there in fifth grade but I got booted so guess I've only driven through. I keep trying to find work here but can't seem to without taking a huge pay cut. I'll likely have to leave permanently. I live in Medina county actually.

It's a bad picture but the quarter here was replaced, they cut another out of a car and welded it in. No replacing the entire panel like in the shows that I've seen, and that's the way it will stay.
We hope to have it finished in the next few weeks, so I'll add more as we progress. This rust repair is time consuming and we still have to prep a lot of the detail areas. He wants it clear coated black, I'm trying to convince him to go white or flat black! Don't think I'll win that one, so we'll have our hands full.
If we stick to our plan, I'll be spraying it with urethane, probably summit brand which I think is Kirker. We're going with epoxy primer then 2k, then epoxy sealer and probably single stage black then clear. I'd rather do base/clear but we'll see.

The above picture you can see the quarter cut out because of rust.
Below is the door, both sides are similar. I made some pieces for the bottom and have them welded in now. The car is going to be a driver, so no concourse restoration here .
