- Hi Guys. After putting a high torque starter last weekend, I went out for a drive. Car felt funny on normal acceleration, and the farther I drove, the worse it got. Started OK, idle OK, but on accele

- Sounds like it is starving for air on acceleration. But, I would have to guess why. Or, you forgot to put the ground strap back on. Philip "Commodore Blues" Hulse (read about it at www.rootes1.com)

- My vote is that the two wires on the solenoid were reversed. Either the large amp ones and/or the small ones that switch the ballast resistor out during cranking (I,S terminals). Since the only thing

- Hi Arden, no but that is a good guess. The problem, sounding like a rev limiter, would not be this, since there would still be gas in the float bowls. When I drained the fuel tanks, I started the car

- DrMayf, you are right on diagnostic, i.e. what I did, but this was not the problem, and wires on ballast resistor were not changed, nor was this the problem. You guys are certainly doing the right th
