  3. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    Forgot to post my solution LOL, I got a bad O2 sensor from RockAuto from the getty-up, do not I repeat do NOT! buy a cheap --- O2 Sensor, buy either NTK or Denso. Whoever said or says the O2 sensor...
  4. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    I did take the brace off to paint it while out but I put both bolts in, so it's good, I appreciate the suggestion.

  5. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    Pulled the codes before the ECU reset and got #17- Engine too cool / #35 Radiator fan relay open / #51 Running too lean
    After reset and thermostat swap to 195* all I got was #12 for a battery...
  6. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    Thanks Jon, I did put a new O2 sensor in maybe it was bad from the get go, thanks for the advice.
  7. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    Nope haven't pulled any codes yet, I'll try and get that done tomorrow, swapped out the stat and the only difference it made as of now was make it run hotter.
  8. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    I advanced and retarded one tooth from my original cam time and both weren't as good as my original setting. I triple checked the timing before I put it together, the cam gear mark was basically...
  9. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    Update - Advanced the cam, ran worse than before crappy low end felt good in the higher rpm range, retarded it also just for the hell of it, ran better retarded one tooth. Had plenty of power low...
  10. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    It's always possible but the head gasket was 15 years old, I talked to Mike over at Forward Motion, he told me the reason head gaskets primarily fail is due to heating and cooling cycles and the...
  11. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    Thanks Joey, I checked it again this morning, put it to tdc, on 0 in the fly wheel window, rotor pointed at #1. I thought it might have been retarded one tooth so I did advance one tooth but when I...
  12. Re: Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    Thanks for the info but it has to be something else, the car ran great on this setup for a year solid until the head gasket blew, I'll check the cam timing again.
  13. Vacuum at -23 when cruising and running pig rich!

    I blew a head gasket a few weeks back on my 87' Shelby Z, not the end of the world so I used it as a way to clean up the engine compartment etc.... I got everything back together and running but now...

    Re: 1987 Shelby Daytona 1st dyno

    You know I thought the HP loss sounded high to me as well, he said he dyno'ed new VW's that put out 180 crank HP and at the wheels it was around 135, maybe his dyno is off. I did some research online...

    Re: 1987 Shelby Daytona 1st dyno

    They always factor in Weather Correction Factor, the computer said 199.4 HP @ 5463 and 203.2 ft lbs of torque @ 4737, if the guy had mashed it on the 1st pull I'm sure I would have hit 200. He also...

    Re: 1987 Shelby Daytona 1st dyno

    Just posted the pics of the docs I got at the shop, the guy took it easy on the first pull, he wanted to make sure the car wouldn't move and also to get a feel for the torque steer. The second pull...
