John, you and others have cited such "simple" ways to increase performance. It seems, to me, that even though we've had TBI, and computer controlled vehicles...so to speak...since what, '79, we've also complained about what the CPU does, or doesn't do for performance. The '81 El Camino I had, had a 229, and I replaced the Sagainaw 3-gear with a Saginaw 4-gear, probably from a Vega. I never was satisfied that the carburetor was right, although it always started and it always ran good. The idle was unsteady, but there were no codes that were stored, as far as I remember.

Computers, for a lot of us, are blamed in the same way that carburetors were blamed...mostly because either item is "secretive" in the way it operates to a lot of people. If we can't see it doing its tricks, it has to be the reason it won't run right.
