It's been raining the 3rd weekend of the month in SoCal since October. Many a cancelled 'Blockhead runs'. Do you have a 'contingency' date in mind Pete?

My plan is to follow the weather report 10 days out. The reports are very accurate here; if it calls for rain on the weekend of the 19th, we'll could pull or push it a week. Likely to pull it because to drive on dust, gravel and dirt is just no fun.

Default Too slow for the Bomber Run

Looks like we won't be able to make it this Saturday. I am still having issues with either fuel delivery or clogged cats. It's actually embarrassing to drive so slowly. It won't rev beyond 2,000 rpm when under load. I'm still not sure which way to go on this problem.
Sorry guys. We were looking forward to this run,too.

Have you checked the fuel pressure?

Not lately. I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, injectors, plugs, wires,distributor cap,coil, ecm and o2sensor. The fuel filter,injectors,plugs and wires were replaced before the last Bomber Run. It ran fairly good then.
It runs good for about one mile, then it just bogs down. On my list of cheap fixes are the fuel pump regulator and the pump screen before I spend big bucks on the cats. I have just 87,000 miles on it. Would cats get clogged that soon?

NO, Mike cats lasted 250,000 miles. In my LT1 the cats have 108,000 miles and they smogged fine few months ago.
