I think I found the issue last night. The plumbing leading to the air filter in the engine compartment was so tight up against the #1 upper spark plug that it kept pulling the plug wire out. I tore out all of that plumbing and ran the filter in the rear wheel well. Took her out for a drive and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It seriously HAULS! I was kind of nervous to explore the power last night since I'm still in the break-in period with the car and the fuel is still not dialed in correclty (got an LM-2 to replace my faulty LM-1), but I could definitely tell there was there was a huge difference.
After having blown off the rubber elbow connecting the AFM to the throttle body several times this past weekend, we decided to use rivets to secure the elbow to the AFM collar. It seemed to work well for a while, but it blew it off again and this time tearing through the rubber. Unless you guys have a suggestion, I'm planning to get one custom made as there needs to be a vacuum connection going to the Venturi Tube (brake booster) and for idle.
Ben, I took a picture of the boost gauge connection to the brake booster, but I forgot my camera card reader today. I'll get it up here tonight.
Thanks everyone for your help! This has been such an enormous and enjoyable learning experience for me. I would have NEVER attempted this without your advice, direction, and support. You guys seriously rock. If any of you find yourselves in southeast PA, look me up and I'll let you take my car for a spin. Thank you!
