Starts but runs on like 2 cylinders at idle...won't rev.
could be:
Bad gas (in it since i last drove it...almost 2 years?)
Plugs/wires (only the front plugs are new...I got frustrated and cold)
Cam sensor
Crank sensor
Vacuum leak
That's all I can think of?
I have two PCMs, one with my H/C/42s tune in it, one 98 stocker.
I'd like to actually drive this thinger around. Then sell it.

Sounds like something that can be knocked out before the burgers are done... but then again, with cars you always take the estimated time and multiply x4.   I should be able to stop out to catch up with you guys.

If you'd like, I can come over with a couple rattle cans of gloss black, and I can drive home with a black GTX hood

Your best bet for taking care of that GTX would be about a gallon and a half of kerosene, and a flame producing device of your choice.

As I remember, you'd better be prepared to paint both hoods! Or was the plan to just leave Matt with a green one anyway?
Sounds like a good meet.

No, I'd paint the green one black enough for him to sell. then escape with a black one on my green car.
Of course, I'd leave some beer to round out the trade. |

Yes, but sometimes it's a little slow in the winter. We'll have some meets soon, mod day, summer picnic and at the track every week, if you want. |
