also dont kno if this is connected or not but i suspect it is, my steering feels like its loosing power when i turn about half way. feels liek trying to drive without steering fluid

 

im so glad eveyone is helping me

 

Probably because that's a very odd problem. The computer controls the timing.

Have you checked the advance weights to make sure they're not stuck (if that distributor even has advance weights, I don't know)? Mine were almost welded in the closed position on my 59 Pontiac.

Have you checked computer codes yet?

Another possibility is to test out the signal generator. 140-180 ohms. Take the reading with the motor at normal operating temperature, since that's when they show their faults. Faulty ones usually test fine with a cold motor.

 

checked all that and its good

do you think putting a grenade in my cylinder would help?

 

Assuming you've checked all the obvious simple stuff, pull out the distributor and inspect the gears. Inspect for sloppy or cracked distributor shaft. Only seen it a handful of times in many years, but it can happen. Good luck.

 

im thinking its either clogged injectors, or a short

 

Cut the aggravation and put a Weber carb on it. I did it to mine and I didn't lose any power, in fact it has more torque.

 

um its efi.....

 

for off road use id lean towards efi over a weber carb. ever been in a mudpit or on a rough trail and had the engine die because the float pins were knocked out of whack? on a stock 22r carbed truck id stick witrh the aisin carb instead of a weber but a holley 2300 350 cfm carb would be my choice... a weber 32/36 flows the same as stock or less a weber 38/38 would be the way to go with a weber. if you understand efi and how it works your alot better off sticking to it. if your tps is off it could cause this issue that and the dizzy...
