Q, everything is set up for 9.5:1 compression; I don't think I'm having problems with pinging or risk detonation. Would you think I'm at-risk?
What do you guys think about the chances of a leaking vacuum modulator? Scott thinks it would show up in a real shifting problem, do you guys feel the same?
Another question I have about this Q-jet, is the choke supposed to open on its own when the engine warms up? When I start it on a cold morning (like today) I push the throttle all the way to set the choke and then start it up. It turns over a few times and starts up with a very high rev idle (I don't have a stinking tach). The car will stay at that idle forever until I go out and pump the throttle (I guess releasing the choke) and then it idles like normal.
