Congrats Glen!...one day you will be exempt and then you can bolt on those headers and a nice side draft so people can actually see that paint on the engine.

Well for the past couple days I've been taking the car around and well the battery is back to where it was before "the incident", now starts like nothing happened. phew
I'm holding off on the headlight mod for now. The hood will be coming off to fix it up, at that time I'll complete it then.
Divin, did going through your points fix the miss fire?
If so what do I need to get rid of my awful miss fire?

Tomorrow I'm going to summer school so I'll be drained of money pretty fast. :'(

today I started my headlight mod, by building some brackets, going to keep the flipup, remove the seven inch round light and add cadillac ballasts and projector bulbs, then top it off with the audi l.e.d's all around the projector. Hopefully it works out as good as it did on paper lol

Jim,

I can't see why the AP would even try to work if you are already at 2500 RPMs. Are you sure that it will still inject at those speeds?

AP functioning is position related, not vacuum, so it should squirt as long as the arm
is traveling.

Been spending a few non-car evenings, trying to remember normal life. Surely won't last, though - - the garage is calling me.

Cfamilyfix: your camber played are on the wrong sides. You'll notice the slots are closer to one side, in your case the front. That is to add caster which needs to be towards the rear.

Thank you...I will correct it in the coming days. It looks like I'm gonna have to have my strut shafts turned down a little to get everything together as well.

I'm glad someone caught it...I wasn't sure which is why I posted those pics. Thanks again.

Well, I ended up buying a new battery today.
We had the old one tested at the Walmart and it only put out 98 amps from the 875 amps it should be putting out.
Yesterday I called Rotary Performance again to bring the car down to check out the miss fire this up coming Thursday.

Drove mine for the first time in a couple months and realized how bad I need a carb rebuild.
