I feel very confident in the most recent rebuild. This builder has several high profile Pontiac racers who use his services. My guess based on my limited mechanical knowledge and my interaction with this car for the last years is that my current issue is a fuel/carb./timing issue.

When you consider I have been monkeying with the timing without a gun, not sure if my vacuum advance is even working and the carb. has never been touched, I would think this is where my problem lies.

Keep in mind the car is now running excellent with the only exception being RPMs above 5k. New plugs, new alt., new battery, new plug wires (date coded stock type) have all made a huge difference over the last couple of days.

Amazingly, I've been tracking my milage last few days, I can not beleive it but if I drive the car around town I am getting 14mpg right now. I never dreamed I'd get that. Doing better than the brand new Dodge 1500 Ram (Hemi) that we recently bought...
