Re: TheSilverBuick's 1967 Thunderbird
Well neither part's store had standard GM TBI rebuild kit in stock, it should be in on Tuesday :-\ So I'm going to park the T-bird out of the way and bring the Skylark around
At least it runs, pretty well even, just 11.5 pig rich :P
For a little back story on the tuning issue with the leaky injector. Prior to noticing a mechanical issue I could program the system to run ultra lean, basically the megasquirt tells the injectors to add very little fuel (base fuel was set really low) and it'd idle nice and sweet with a 14-15:1 AFR (livin off the leak), but when it came to driving the car, the amount of programmed fuel had to be turned waaaay up because it'd go dead lean and the VE table needed waaay to much change to be normal, and even then the base fuel amount was too low to properly add enough for loaded up driving. So switch it over to where I have it programmed now, it's waaay rich at idle, I have a normal base fuel setting and the VE table programmed to add essentially no fuel (why I thought one injector wasn't working) and it'll idle rich, but it runs hard (and rich) loaded up in gear. So I can move it around but I won't be driving it too far like this.
