Hey boys, I'm about to start my 302 rebuild with a nice h/c/i to go on it. I know I had bigger plans, but my budget has unfortunately changed. Here some pics of my car that I had on my phone. I'll put some more up later.

Pro-m can recalibrate your mass air unit but its 50 dollars more then if you had a pro-m meter...here's the link Pro-M will recalibrate any PMAS, Granatelli, BBK, Summit Racing, SCT and Sniper Mass Air Meters so total for you would be 150 plus shipping. mine cost me 100 dollars
they also recalibrate stock mass air units as well

thanks ryan i never knew pro-m did other meters.
Probably gonna attempt to switch out the maf and injectors tomarrow or next week.
I was planning on running this thing at the track this friday. You guys think I should run it? Or get my possible injector problem figured out first?
I was pounding her on the highway the other day and she felt strong. Just if I stall it several times while Im driving it sometimes doesnt wanna start and I have to wait a couple minutes and try starting it again.

You pull a plug on it yet to see what it's doing?

White, very bad yes, lol. But as Fogged said at an earlier time, you need to make a WOT run and shut the key off when you are done so you get an accurate reading. Idling and cruising will skew the results. You may need to go buy one new plug to do this, depending on how you're look now. Get an A/F gauge in it as soon as you can afford to, and you won't have to worry anymore.

Yeah thats basically what I do to start it sometimes if it wont go when I just crank it.
You know what causes that? Basically too much fuel? Weak spark plugs?
Sometimes if that doesnt work though I have to just let it sit for a couple minutes then itll start with me pressing the throttle

And I get a new plug so the reading (black or white) will be more clear and not mixed with other driving I have already done?
and basically thats just like winding out 2nd or 3rd gear and then pulling over and pulling a plug?

The larger the injector, the harder it is for the computer to compensate at idle untuned.

Im gonna call around tomarrow to see if anyone here can install a wideband. I wanted to run it at the track this weekend if I can because the next race isnt for 2 months

So no swapping of the stock parts yet? This could fix your problem in 2 minutes. And if thats the case it will make your engine break in cake. I doubt you'll have over 800 miles on your car by a track outting fri, unless you drive it that much.

I thought taking it too the track would be a perfect break in? Since beating on it is another option of breaking in an engine??
