Re: filthy rich


Greg, I would check your injectors.  I think if you pull your plugs, you
may find one or two cylinders that have been running more rich.  I had
an injector fail on #3 and the symptoms were not noticeable at idle, but
only at about 40 MPH in third gear, when it would buck like it was
running out of fuel.  What was actually happening was that Mr. Number
three injector decided to stick fully open at that speed.  I was unable
to tell by pulling injector plugs at idle, but when I put my spare
injector in #3, the problem went away immediately.  Maybe pull one out
of the '71 if you don't have a spare.
