OR my car has a mind of its own

so I have an 83 gsl new fuel filter new fuel pump, rebuilt carb, dropped my tank and cleaned it. the car is still not running right one day it will run like crap and the next it will run perfectly fine. I'm almost possitive its a fuel problem but im open for suggestions.

also what are the measurments for float adjustments.

look in the FSM for details and carb manuals, both available at rx7.foxed.ca or in the link in my sig

also, that was one of the most vague descriptions i have ever heard. We are online, you need WAAAAY more detail as we cannot drive or feel or hear the car run. also check the FAQ's for info

yeah sorry about that but anyways it spits and sputters when i try driving it...or at least most the time. but i've pretty much replaced the entire fuel system, rebuilt the carb and all my ignition systems are good.
