i washed it and it looks great. the sparatic idle was a vacuum leak.. i think. but now i'm having a problem with it staying running. in park.. or nuetral..it will idle fine.. and you can rev it up just fine.. once i start drving. i can make it like.. a block or so.. and it starts to sputter out and die. sometimes i can slip it in nuetral and feather itand keep it running, but most of the time it just dies. i'm not sure if it's a fuel issue..or electrical ..or sensor. i'm just not sure. any hep or ideas would help me out alot. i haven't disconnected any grounds or anythign and i've looked all the vacumm lines and they're still attached. so now i'm just tring to find out . possibly fuel pressure? i'mgonna check that tomorrow. also gonna look in my tank and see how the baffels look. now that i think about it.. it seemed to happen more when turning or on a hill... but it also does it on flat ground.... its hard for me to explain. but anyhelp would be appreciated.. thanks

 

also .... i know its a huge wish for it to be running well after being sitting for so long. but a guy can dream right?

 

so ..i found that one of the tank straps was loose and my tank was hanging down. but thats not the problem.. fixed it..still screwing up. it will idle just fine it can rev it up ..and it does fine. can hold idle.. and run just fine, i'll pull it out of the shop.. start pulling up the hill.. and once it puts a load on it... it starts to hit a dead zone .. first at 4000 then.. if i rev it up.. dead zone at 3000 .. then at 2000.. then if i rev it.. it dies.can start it right back up .. and rev just fine. its like it is either, losing spark or losing fuel. i'm not sure if it has too little or too high fuel pressure. i'm not using a stock fuel pump, so i'm trying to get another one. any other ideas?

 

if the second pics are what it looks like now, i like what you've done with it =]

 

thanks. i have a couple more pics in an album.. just go to my profile thing. now if i could just get it to stay runnign.. i'd be happy

 

Its looking really nice already, been following along for a while now keep it up.
