I'm going to rip this bastard apart when I get home.
After the truck sat for a good ten weeks so I could give the GTO some road time before she gets garaged for the winter, I hauled 'er back out for an axle swap and some other adjustments in anticipation of the cold months ahead.
My tune was ALL out of whack...
After a bout of ****** econ (13mpg down to 6mpg), I slapped the vac gauge on it last night to see what the engine had to say, and proceeded to tweak the A/F mixture.
Funny - it was perfect when I parked her, but now my best vac readings are with the A/F screws all the way in. That's not right...
The truck otherwise runs fine.
possible junk stuck in carb?
What do the rest of you think?
