Coil or Module on Power Logger?

[wmsonta]

it just smelled like Gas real strong.

When I started mine, it had set for 23 1/2 years. Probably not started for 2-3 yrs. It started right up and was rich as hell.

Because it would not hold fuel pressure, I changed out a new pump. It turned out unnecessary.
I pulled the injectors and sent them to Injection Connection. They test every injector they get. Mine all failed every test. My injectors have not been available for over a decade, so mine were rebuilt, flow matched and tested. The tests before/after are included w/injectors.

My have only good to say about them. They were recommended by a life long friend who is into competition turbo v8's.

I think that my 12 year old 60lb injectors will be my next step after rechecking the Axis, checking resistance on new coil & module & seal up the lines to the heater box. I just took a quick look & realize the hoses are different size so not sure which way I'll go on that yet.
My Mom called & I have some family stuff that's going to sideline me for a bit but I will post back with progress.
Thanks for all the help I appreciate it.

The guy at Injection Connection said that injectors that had set as long as mine were nearly always bad. He said that used injectors out and on the bench are good for days or weeks only. He said the next time mine sets to build pressure in the system once a week. Or try to.

Well I'm sure mine are questionable since the car sits 7 months a year & then is only driven less than 2K kilometers a year lately & they are 60's that are about 12 years old. When I get some time I'll find some heater hose to bypass the heater core then I'll go for a decent drive & check the plugs again but injectors are on the to do list for sure so thanks for the info.
Thinking I'll get rid of the 2 pipes to heater core for now if I can find what I need later on when I have time.

Steve you can't cut n paste but I opened it in a new window & went right to your site with heater core info.


So I saw your pics of the R&R I need to open it all up first & then order the parts.  Thanks Steve!

Highway Stars is out of stock on Heater Cores https://www.highwaystars.net/heater-core-aluminum-replaces-gm-s-3037689-52479872/
Rock Auto has the OSC 98505 with the padded edges it looks like for $27.
They also have the APDI/PRO 9010089 (3037689) for $28 but no padded edges. Some sizing info is supplied.
Also the TYC 96025 (3037689) for $31 it has some kind of added bracket & info on sizing.
Any thoughts on which way to go?
I should have some time mid month or maybe sooner to do the swap.

It's the editor in the forum software - I just haven't had a chance to get to it. Kids are back to school now, my plates still pretty full but I'll see what I can do.

You will have less time when they close the schools and send the kids back home for remote schooling! LOL


If you get time, also look at the picture scaling as shown above in my posting of David's pictures..
