I have 84 corvette know my timing is off not much though
problem I'm having now is if you pull out in drive and floor it it
doesn't really take off let of gas and you can feel her take off.
if you don't let of gas all she does is bog down badd.

I've noticed that if you pull out with little pedal it pulls out and goes
pretty good shifts great to.

But soon as you kick it Down and don't back pedal off it will start bogging badd.


Help

Too much air, not enough fuel. You might have a vacuum leak.

You need to adjust your TPS. Probably the whole throttle body system needs adjustment.

Could be a fuel pump to
If u put your foot down and it bogs
But if u back off and acc slowly and it increases in speed
It's more than likely a fuel pimp
U need to get a fuel pressure gauge and test it
