Well, thanks for all the input guys...No pics for this one...kinda straight forward...I replaced all hose with new 3/8 hose....repositioned the vent lines out back properly...Installed a new see thru Mr Gasket fuel filter and a new el'cheepo fuel press gauge...also installed new throttle return springs...took the car oout fro a spin and the off idle stuble that was always there is not there anymore...it doesnt fall on its ass at any rpm....it pulls hard up untill the shift point....I did have to re adjust the kickdown linkage cuz of the new springs but that aint a big deal...she needs a little more timing i think...gonna grab a good light this week....

Re: Damn Fury
Reminds me...Chad found a fuel-hose leak on the van last week. Tightened the clamp, and the off-idle stumble went away. Cool. But weird.Comment

Re: Damn Fury
Um. I think I found that leak after smelling raw fuel while standing next to it. Not that it matters. At least the van didn't go up in flames.Originally posted by FreiburgerBS'er formally known as Rebeldryver

Re: Damn Fury
Yeah, we have been smelling fuel forever on this thing and it has always ran choppy. I figured it needed a tune-up and timing adjusted but when Rebeldryver was here it started puking out on the ground. Turns out the hose going into the fuel pump was cracked next to the hose clamp. I cut off a couple inches of hose and put it back together and it ran WAY better than ever before. I wonder if it was sucking air since it was on the supply side of the pump. It runs much better now and is not so rich although that almost doesn't make sense. I don't get it, but I love that it runs nicer. I'm going to start driving it to work now.

Re: Damn Fury
Those timing lights with the dial on the back ROCK! You can hold the gun with one hand, give it some throttle with the other hand, and turn the dial with your teeth. Simplifies the hell out of things.Originally posted by JOES66FURY

Re: Damn Fury
I always time mine by ear. Have the wife get in and give it gas w/ foot on the brake. Gas it till the tires want to spin but don't advance the timing till you get alittle spark knock then back it off a little till it stops.I've had people check it and its always right.Comment
