CIS can't be diagnosed. You just need to replace things a piece at a time until it works.
Carbs are superior for a street car. ianc

I'll learn more if I get the the car set up for the track right away (excluding safety equip).
I need more HP to catch that guy (the same car with the same tires)! Porsches are the perfect track machine.

"oil company's are bad and unique because they are willing to make an obscene profit"
I am sure glad that is a fallacy because I still need to get a set of Cibie rally lights for my car, Oh and I would like to by a house, It sure is nice to know some people would sell these thing for only 10 percent over what they paid for them and not market value so they will not be thrown in with those weird mean oil guys. |

No more "Oil Companies Comments" please, just stuff pertaining to car maintenance/practices.
Here is another mal-practice: "Using a new chain but keeping the old chain sprockets is o.k." The pitch is the same but, what happens is that the new chain will not seat properly in the old sprocket because the worn tooth areas on the sprocket will not match the new chain links. Over time, the new chain will put so much stress on the tips of the teeth that you'll find all of them on your sump screen like I did after running with the new chains for about 10K miles. Luckily, I found them before the chains jumped. I counted them and they added up to the exact number. New chains without new sprockets? Read this! I expect a flurry of responses from people who have done it but, just think about it: A new chain on a worn sprocket is not good; they don't really match. There must be a few engines out there running with cropped teeth; you may find them in your sump if you have one. I think after '83, the sump was eliminated.

I went back and deleted all of my replies to posts regarding oil companies out of respect for ths thread.
