1957 Fuel Injection help in Reno, NV

[Stacey C.]

I have inherited a 1957 Fuel Injected Corvette from my father who restored the car over 20 years ago. It runs and is in pretty good shape but it is stalling at idle. Up until now it was at sea level and I am wondering if the higher elevation is causing the issue. Is there anyone in the Reno area that is familiar with this car and willing to help?
Thanks for any help!

Stacey,

I might be able to help you. I'm in Pollock Pines CA, about two hours from Reno. I'm busy this morning, but this afternoon I could talk you through some troubeshooting and minor adjustments over the phone. I'll PM you with my number.

Clearly I picked the wrong father. I got a 5 year old Saturn wagon-four cylinder. Another option for you is to bite the bullet and send the unit off to one of the FI guys who post here frequently and get it set up once and for all. These units can be quite problem-free if set up correctly and then given good fuel to run on. Good luck with your 57.
