You are being quiet Rick. How is the t-bucket doing?
I Love My Chevy Corvette.Life always throws curve balls me new engine in daily driver new brakes and need new tires to get inspection
well its certainly true, most of us are broke most of the time!
YES or NO answer Rick - Is the engine and the transmission functioning properly at this point?
After all you just went through getting the T back together, you owe us at least that.
Yes the 200-4R transmission is working great, just like the first build.YES or NO answer Rick - Is the engine and the transmission functioning properly at this point?

that 18:1 f/a ratio is some what concerning,
ID want no leaner than 15:1 and no richer than about 12.4:1
under low load and under 3500 rpm 15:1 is about ideal,
once you stick the throttle to the floor and rpms and loads increase the f/a ratio,
better smoothly transition to near 12.6:1.
if you want max power/torque and too limit the tendency toward detonation.

The engine is running fine mechanically, except it's developed a random miss fire on the driver side,
mainly under some load. Can't tell about the other side since the exhaust is on the other side.
Replaced the distributor cap and rotor, the center carbon button was worn flush.
I've checked the plug wires and all are under 150 ohms.
Compression test was done and all cylinders are 184 - 190 psi.
At times the AFR go above 18:1 under light load.
The accelerator pump adjusted for zero play, but no change.
On my trip back from Waco this weekend over 359 miles I averaged 21.0 mpg at 75 mph. I was getting
19 mpg with the taller windshield. The windshield was 19" and now it's only 12.5" high.
