Well, Tim, if you're still messing with carbs and musclecars, you should have gotten a 1stgen RX-7, the '78 to '85 years that had the Nikki carburetor. They are so much like the old 60's musclecars in modification procedures, it's not even funny.

Nonetheless, we are dealt the hand we play with...welcome aboard!

Welcome Aboard. We're expecting turbance on this flight, please keep all of your trays and turn-tables in........................

What year is your car?

Is your "friend" the original owner?

Was the car orginally turbo, or does it have a swapped engine. Something just sounds fishy as I couldn't imagine why someone would want to go backwards from a turbo setup to a none turbo setup. On the other hand; there are many people who would like to turbo their none turbo cars.

Do you have a digital camera? I'd like to see what you're looking at.

Don't get aggravated and throw in the towel, if you've never experienced a well running rotary rockship you're missing out.
