    Put the slicks on to try to be a little safer trying to fine tune this setup didn't help and left 100ft+ of double rubber from a 20 hit. Guess I need to put some attention in the suspension again id really hate to have to minitub this car.

    And for those curious
    I swapped boosters in my carb and gained almost a point on my afr with the same tuneup
    10.9 isn't going to cut it.

    Replaced the fuel pump, the old one was leaking oil.
    Had the most fun swapping out steering wheels with one that I just bought. Thanks mean-maverick! Looks much better than the avocado green wheel that was in there!
