need help after 13b swap...
Ok...My 4 port BP is now in my 84 which had an all stock 12a in it and im havin some trouble. So heres whats up-After runnin the engine hard and gettin it nice and hot it starts dieing and gets really jumpy like not all of the plugs are sparking and the only thing keeping the engine turning is the weight of the car. So I pull over and let it sit for a minute start it back up and its ok again. This Started happening two days after i did the swap and got it running. Ill be glad to answer any questions. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

If its wet, assuming that the engine is good, then its flooding. Check your floats.
If its dry, there is a restriction in your fuel line...say clogged filter.

the radiator just started leaking really bad. Ive only been able to drive it a little bit at a time and the temp gauge isnt hooked back up. Whats really confusing me is that all the plugs are gettin spark and its gettin fuel but its just not firing. Itll start if i hold the pedal to the floor but will run really slugishly and only for a few seconds. HELP!!

Have you replaced teh fuel filter, could be clogged after running around the silt gets stirred up.... My 83 would quit and I'd have to let it cool..... the silt would fall to the bottom of teh filter I could run a while longer then it would do it again... probably your filter.
