Thank god! I thought I was gonna loss another good read. I was beating my head on the wall reading the last couple pages. I always miss these builds and have to read like 10 to 20 pages to catch up. It always happens, I get to the end and they sale the car, give up, or leave the site over drama. Thank you for not giving up.

I got some work done mostly odds and ends (swaybar end links installed, replaced leaking ps pump). After talking to some people about my problem, Mark suggested that I clean the chip contacts on the EEC. I did find the contacts on the EEC where the chip connects were really dirty. So what I'm hoping is the settings on the chip never made it to the EEC. I went through about 3 erasers cleaning them up, I have a good connection now with the diablosport chip and the port. I put oil in it last night. Just have to gas it up, prime the oil pump, and fire her up. I'll post a video this weekend of it running if I get some time to fire it up. Keeping my fingers crossed that the tailpipes have no black

smoke LOL

If it still runs rich

I'm going to try another meter. I'm looking into one of those abaco dbx97.

Here's some updated pics:

Your car is looking great and will be a lot of fun to drive. That engine will definitely be a conversion piece in that car too. If car is still running rich / missing, make sure you have the Left and Right O2 sensors connected to the correct harness connectors. I had the left and right reversed on my engine swap and it drove me nuts for quite a while.

This thing was running pig rich to where there was tons of black smoke and poping in the exhaust, after about ten minutes of running it would just foul out the plugs and die. When I open up the throttle and get some rpms it smooths out and sounds strong as hell near WOT. The current theory about the meter and injectors not working right makes sense cause if the EEC is pulsing the injectors for 19# and really dumping 42# than that would explain the rich condition. I can't wait to run it this weekend and see where I'm at.
