[urq] Into the CIS abyss






Last night I ventured into the black abyss of CIS experimentation. I know 
to 
some that's a 4 letter word, but have mercy.
Since I acquired my WXd 83 URQ (and 2 motors since) it has not been 
consistant or impressive at full throttle. Ever!
So- I pulled 2 fuel distributors from the local boneyard. The plan was to 
have 1 to experiment with, one stock with which to return to the 
hinterland's 
original spec, and my original.
 
I put one on the car last night and adjusted the allen screws under the 
caps 
next to the fuel lines out (counterclockwise- rich) 45 degrees each.
The preliminary results are YEEHAAAAAAAAAA! Full throttle as it was 
intended 
to be. All the way to redline, and not just in 3rd gear. I will now  check 

the plugs routinely for indications of rich/lean etc. The frequency valve 
still 
dials right in, so I don't feel I have gone over the edge with  mixture.
Maybe I should put together a fuel ratio meter? Anyone who has done that 
and 
could talk a non electric dummy through the process would be greatly 
appreciated.
More real life driving impressions to follow, but so far it is an amazing 
transformation.

Just for us folks with even less knowledge,:
- is your engine/fuel system stock or modded?
- can you explain better how many allen screws there is, where are they, 
etc?

Thanks
