Compression test done
115 - 120
I did have one that was putting out 140
Still running like complete crap. With all my emissions stuff out except for teh EGR what should I do, buy a EGR eliminator. Can you get computers configured to not have any emissions (Smog, EGR etc.)
I'm now debating on what to do with this car. There is some rust, not real bad, little in the driver side floorboard. Little in the door jam, front left fender. I think if I do a motor swap I could definitely get most all cleaned up. The interior could use an overhaul with new everything, so wen I yank the carpet I could take care of the floorboards. Pretty sure its the K-Tube in the front suspension that is pretty rusted along with some other minor stuff. But my question is now, is this body and frame worth getting into. I have about 4K invested in the car now. Will post pics if it will help.
All in all, I have this car and looking to replace everything, motor, interior, suspension. Is it worth it, or should I sell - wouldn't get much out of it now, and then save and buy a solid one>>>?? Any opinions and input is greatly appreciated!

Did you ever take the fuel pressure with a proper tester? It connects to the valve on the fuel rail behind the alternator. Pressure should be about 35 vacuum line on, 40-42 with the vacuum line for the regulator disconnected- at idle.

Hey Joel thanks for the link, very informative information. I need to keep checking into some things.
I haven't check the pressure myself (no gauge) when it was at good year they said pressure was good. I'm going to get a gauge and test it myself. Will reply with results. I'll get some pics together to.
