Hey Brendan, sorry, I wasn't trying to give you a hard time or anything. I lay awake at night thinking of the CIS.

Is that why this thing is running like junk? Then I start to think of ripping it all out and going carbs.

Then I think of how much that will cost and how much life is left in this motor. I tweak a few knobs and she runs OK for a little while longer.

I also like to pop the hood for the curious ones, and when they see an octopus of hoses and say "Holy Cow!", all of the aggravation was worth it.

Believe me, I'm no purist, I'm thinking when this motor goes, I'll be looking for an easy motor swap.

Until then, I'll keep tweaking and cussing, and laying awake at night

No, it's still not running - although honestly I haven't had much time to work on it. DOCO, do you have a shop or something I can bring the car to for a few days? I will of course pay you for your time. Let me know, thanks.
