Re: IML: '69 emissions

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I tried leaning it out & went back to test again. This time, it failed 2 of 
the 4 tests. The CO under load went up from 3.77 to 4.06 but at idle, it 
dropped from 1.07 to .22. The HC idle test that it previously passed at 246 
now went up to 645 & failed.
  I took one of the plugs out to have a look & it was clean. I installed 
them at the time I replaced the fuel pump. With the original Holley on the 
car, it coughed & smoked & ran really rough. I kind of expected the plugs to 
look bad after all of that.
