First should I ditch the logic module/computer and go with an aftermarket carb and ignition? how did I work the lock up converter if I do? Or could I have things like the EGR opening at the wrong time or a vacuum issue?
Any help would be appreciated. The truck only has 60k on it but was sitting a while before I started driving it.



I had an 88 Ramcharger. It starting running like poo poo. It was the hall effect distributor. It ran good after that, but even better when I ditched the EGR, smog pump and converter. The thing even managed 17mpg combined.
