Well it seems as though my car is wanting to be added to the junk yard list of SC's for it seems as no matter what I do it runs like crap.
Here is the story...

Anyone remember this? Well the balancer was in bad shape...the removal tool required my hand turning it to have it fall off...like a half inch of the bolt was left in the crank and it was just in bad shape. I thought it was the problem. Anyways the car ran before I pulled the balancer...actually ran for 1 hour before hand then we tore it down, put it back together with the BHJ and ASP underdrives..started it up and it ran. On the test drive it acted as though it didn't know where the throttle was at when given WOT, but under mild acceloration it was fine. Pulled back into the shop, shut it off to pick up the remander of the tools and then got in it to leave...she sputtered and missed (like before) and she wouldn't turn over.
My brother n law (my mechanic) and also a family friend who races dirt track seemed to think its the timing. Or the computer since that controls the timing.
I just need some help, I've sunk dollar after dollar into this car..so much that I might as well keep going...and it still won't run.
Thanks again for the help.
