wiring isnt a problem..we have plenty of wire, and are currently in electrical so my teacher would be happy  i figured out the diagrams and such anyways.. no big deal..

It's worth it...unless you have a low miles 84-86 that you are keeping 100% original, the new motors are soooo much better.

well.. its been a while since i posted here.. life is getting insane!!!
BUT
Shes been running a bit rich lately so all sorts of diagnostics have been going on..
my primary ignition side wasnt firing enough kv's so we took a look at my distributor... the coil was loose and the module had too low if a resistance value (actually so did the dist.) so today i replace both nice difference throttle response is much better and she pulls a lot nicer all the way up through the rpm's but i still think shes runnin rich.. not sure why.. but 12mpg isnt satisfactory...
the gen II's still arent in.. after getting the module and motors.. i realized i need the plug ends too!! ugh..
im on break from school till Jan 7th so shes just gonna have to deal with it a bit longer...
but shes so fun to drive
off to ride my OTHER lady

Jerry, have you checked the O2 sensor? Could be that it's malfunctioning, and causing the ECM to richen up the fuel mixture...

o2 sensor is new.. and when it was connected to the scope... an instructor pulled a vaccum line, and said that it should be ok cause it changed something..
o yea.. car faster.. but MPG the same !!? 1/2 a tank got me 50mi. 
i do still have to adjust timing but i doubt its THAT off..[This message has been edited by BobadooFunk (edited 12-21-2007).]
