I dont think that your problem is too much fuel.

My idea is that it is not getting enough spark to ignite that fuel, so the fuel is just dumping in and not burning and bogging you down.

Go get a Fuel pressure gauge and hook it up and then watch it when revving to see if you are getting too much fuel.

Otherwise, its not enough spark.

I see an MSD igintion hooked up on your cardomain page. Is that hooked up right? Whats wrong with the stock ignition? Is there a way to tell if that MSD ignition is working right??

Anyway-- just a thought.

The engine ran fine when it was in Mikes car.

Well Sir Perry, I will look into the gage. There was nothing wrong with the stock ignition, but I got the MSD anyway. If it wasnt hooked up right it wouldnt work. I know I have spark and it seems good. The reason I think its fuel is becuase the plugs are saturated with fuel. I always appreciate another view to the problem becuase thats how you solve things. I will tell my bro to get a gage and hook it up under the hood. I will see what happens. He is going to try to swap out the harness tomorrow I think so who knows what he will do with that. Ill let you know.
