I checked idle mixture screws...I have about 1 1/4 turn out on primary side and about 1 turn out on secondary side. As for the accel pump shot, I have swapped nozzles until I have bogged the motor with too much fuel and starved it for not enough but the that seems to be an off idle thing for my car. I have a 3.00 rear end so at 2200 rpm I am at about 25mph or so. Car doesnt really car how I get to 2200 rpm just as long as I am there,,,,when I get to 2200 it runs bad. Anything under 2100 or over 2300 is exc. As for the dist...The the ford crate unit but I am not utilizing the vacuum advance per everyones advice. I am pretty certain my problem isnt pump shot. Since the 3 power valve I used didnt fit it I dont think it a power valve but I am not an expert on them (I will install a 10.5 today to vertiy that the biggest holley makes wont solve my problems) what do you guys recommend as far as mechanical advance kits for the ford electronic dist with msd box???
