Re: Fuel System Help Needed
I can't understand why anyone is intimidated by a QJ. Part of this hobby with old Corvettes is learning how to fix things yourself. If you don't know about something, you should gather books and information from many sources including fellow NCRS members, then use a little common sense to learn it by doing. The only things I don't do myself are those that I don't have the youthful ability to tackle any more. A QJ is simple, except for the fact that they were designed to be difficult for the novice to work on so as to discourage tampering with the smog related stuff. I've even unplugged the idle mixture screws and sealed the main jet wells on many because I had to in order to make them work right and perform. Don't be afraid of them. Otherwise, you will be paying someone else a hundred bucks an hour who considers you a sucker. And, often times, the final out come will be far from correct - at least the first time around.
Just my two cents.
