Hey You Guys are Great!
« on: August 11, 2011, 15:46:14 »
I worked with my fuel injection settings and have the car shifting a lot better. The transmission still has a clunk at some throttle --driving shifts but its much better. I'm trying some Lucas transmission additive now. The adjustments brought me from a trans rebuild to a situation I can live with.  Its got no leaks and no slips.

Anyway here's a couple more questions?

I want to try to adjust the fuel injection knob clicker on the back of the pump. Which way to richen? It seem to run lean after warm up.

I want to add an electronic ignition module? Any recommendations?

The car starts loaded up after sitting for 1 hour or so. I'm guessing injectors are leaking down? The ignition module  may cure this if not not,  injectors? The car has 103k?

Hi Clutch--the issue of electronic ignition just came up recently and has been a topic of repeated discussions.  Look in this thread: http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=15092.0  Note that is only one of many threads on the topic; others in the past discuss the various experiences that people have had with them.

I don't think an injector-related issue will be solved by electronic ignition, however...
