Steve - just a note on the AFX.

The analog output is supposed to be dead nuts accurate - the on screen display doesn't refresh at the same rate as the analog out, so the numbers might not register the same between the 2.

It's really a nice piece - none of the innovative bugs.

Damn, Phil...thought you were gonna show up and help me!  Damn injectors popped right out...I sprayed a little aerokoil on them before lunch in case they were stuck after ten years...no problem but the injectors are hanging up between the pcv and the map hoses when I try to pull them out on the rail....guess I am going to have to stop cussing and pull those two, back vacuum lines off the block to give me enuf room to pull them out....seems like everything is a drama these days!  :D

Should have known when I told you how easy it is that I was tempting Fate...sure started off well!

Need to bolt everything back down, but, they are in.  Need to look at the fuel line o ring and change it, before I finish tomorrow..my back has had enuf for today.

I must be totally getting senile because I noticed the factory injector clips on the car and I have gone from stock to 36 to 50 to 75's and now back to 60's.  I thought I threw the clips away 20+ years ago....so I said what the heck and popped them back on

None on the other car which i have changed a few times as well

Makes me wonder if some Canadian visited me during the night and popped them on?

Phil, what happened to your car...make sure he drops the pan and cleans the nylon off the oil pick up and out of the pan! (if it has a nylon gear)

Yeah, sorry for the delay gents.  Should here something back today.  As for the injectors, couldnt do it before i sent the car due to the rain.  I did get the new radiator put in tho.  I was waiting for a post like this.  Lol. Yall be bashing me.  I've grown gray hairs over the last two weeks and Im not even 25 yet

Bashing? Nah, ....teasing perhaps. Didn't know you were so soft.

Thought we had become the kinder gentler board?

okay, so that means the timing chain was the problem

If it had the nylon gear, be sure he cleaned off the oil pump pick up cause it always collects the nylon bits and kills the oil pressure
