Well feel terrible no more because much earlier today I got a chance to get the electric fan installed and got it's temp set on the thermostat, reset the computer one last time, and took it out for a spin after warming it up.
AND GUESS WHAT! IT RUNS ALMOST PERFECT NOW! That was the whole problem. Im sure the computer, being that the engine had never warmed up, was still in some open loop waiting to see all conditions normal before proceeding with full fuel mapping, etc.
It pulls really really strong to about upper mid range, I dunno maybe 3500+ rpm and then it kind'a goes flat and levels out. Im sure this is tuning related and not equipment related. It most likely needs some new plugs and wires, some injector cleaning and maybe a dizzy even.. But I

Let me know about this-
So tomorrow after noon I will see about wiring in the speed sensor (which I am still not even sure it needs it) and then I will try to wrap up the conversion on Sunday. I still need to mount the charcoal canister, mount the fuse box down, cover up some wiring, and I want to find some plastic and mount a (+) positive terminal in the engine bay to use as a master hook-up for any accessories I plan to install in the future (since I dont have the battery up there, I have no real place to wire in driving lights/radio/speakers/c.b./etc). So I will try to finish up everything under the hood by the close on Sunday. That would
Then starting next Tuesday I could begin tearing out the ol' '81 interior and get working on that. Then just get a muffler installed, get it smogged, get it painted and reupholstered, and then I'll be about finished with the truck. Then I'll be saving up for the suspension and drivetrain mods that I want to have finished by April or so.. CANT WAIT!
