Re: 1990 No Up Hill Power?

When I first installed the motor it had a valve seat problem and even though it was a brand new chevrolet crate motor they wouldn't fix it.
I had a local machine shop go through the heads and my receipt shows $456 for heads with under 300 miles on them at the time.
I work for the postal service so right now its hard getting any time off to work on it.
After the first of the year I will replace the distributor assembly with a points style distributor with new wires,plugs and coil to see what happens.
If that doesn't do anything I'll put a old style single plane manifold and Holley 750 on it.
That will eliminate most of the factory computer garbage from the equation and atleast get me up and running smoothly.
I already have all the parts so its just installation time.
Judging by your post you would probably be better off doing the same thing.The only thing needed is to change the center bolt angle on the manifold and you can do that with an ordinary drill and a 3/8 bit.
