[DMCForum] Starting all over...



All right. It turns out I'm NOT going to Las Vegas to attend a 
wedding this weekend. This give me a little extra free time.

Here's the issue I want to work on:

I am STILL missing too much horsepower. I have a shallow acceleration 
curve. I can get the car beyond 4000 RPMS but it takes quite a while.
I realize that 5th gear is NOT for passing but on relatively shallow 
grades, I can barely maintain speed by flooring it.
I have driven Mike Cohee's car so I know this isn't my imagination.

I have:

1. All new fuel components.
2. All new ignition components.
3. Eliminated all the vacuum leaks I could find.
4. Verified the timing & that ignition advance functions correctly.
5. Set the CO screw to match Mike's setting (and the manual)
6. Verified vacuum hose routing IAW the diagram in the engine cover.

I am missing a functional WOT microswitch but this is not the sole 
cause of my problem. I intend to get into the evap canister area to 
check for more vacuum leaks.

Your suggestions are welcome. Thanks,

Rich
