81 running on c 6yl?
Hi, Im new to the forum, and to the vette world. I hope someone can help with my first problem.
The car was running fine, pulled into the garage one nite, the next evening, got in to take it for a ride and it sounds like its running on 6 cyl. Starts and idles fine, but no acceleration. very little backfire, very rich exhaust smell. New plugs, cap, rotor etc.
Im not sure what to look for as it was running fine. Next time it was started, it acted this way. Any ideas what to check would be appreciated.
