Re: [T3] Hey Guys I'm still Bogged Down Over here!

The factory had a modifcation for the t-3 fuel injection for a lean running
condition. It was to put a 250 ohm resistor in series with the head
temperature sensor. They even had one made up special. (potted in epoxy,
with the right connectors). This would richen up the system slightly. I
think I may even have one around here somewhere. I will look for it this
weekend.
