Evening fellas!
Got a lot done this weekend. Mainly got the porch sealed. Been a few years since it was done........when we built to be exact. Need to get the boat carb rebuilt and get that beast running. Might be able to use it this year.......sometime when it warms up.
To all you Mustang guys out there.........SUCK IT!

I wish Jay would buy me ice cream. 
I had a lighbulb moment tonight with the Mustang. I messed with the tuning after I got back tonight and it keeps surging and then stalling. I adjusted the fuel tables, some scalars, forced open loop, etc to no avail. Then it dawned on me, it is acting like there is a vacuum leak. The valve covers that I have for the blower vent to the atmosphere. The PCV is still hooked up. It IS a vacuum leak. Tomorrow I'll try plugging the vacuum port on the intake for the PCV and see if it will idle nicely.

LOL
I think I should go to the shop in the morning, pick up the car, trailer, some tools and my laptop and find somewhere else to go mess with it all day. I just don't feel like actually working. LOL
