Re: 87 running lean?

Ideally, Yes (you may need to get sig lighter to lapy DC-DC converter)

Do you you feel that you lost power at certain range of RPM's while you driving? Then you'll have to capture that engine performance data and the same operating conditions.

Another thought - double check your spark plug routing and re-verify that spark wires are in good shape. One more than occasion I had engine hesitation that was eventually traced down to old spark wires arcing over. Just a thought (and does not cost anything). With engine running, in a dark garage, spray spark wires with a fine water mist. If you see blueish halo around wires or see engine stumble - you found that rascal.
