This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Funny you should ask... I thought the car was not posi... and I posted pics on here somewhere of the car on blocks as I pulled the axles for new side bearings and seals. I made a comment about not being posi and the next guy said "that is a posi"

    Needless to say that explained a lot on why I could not break the tires loose.
    The last change I made was to put some 111 gas in it. actually 2 gal of 111 and 8 gal of 93. no pinging at all now.

    And my wife was not as amused as I was about the driveway...Good thing I didnt try for a second darker set!

    About those idle mixture screws.... there is no fixed setting for them, just a starting point. Generally speaking you crank them in until the car starts to stumble and back them out a quarter or half turn. Since you had to crank in the idle speed screw (on the linkage) it sounds like you could be a little lean. Try backing them out a half turn to see if that brings the idle speed back up. If it does that should make your throttle response off idle better.
