1985 stock L98, No aftermarket equipment. 8k on new eng short block See below the readings I took from the DB1 port. I noticed the EGR reading is always 0. Is there anything here out of wack?

160 BLM is a concern, since this is the upper limit of positive correction. At least the INT is near 128, which indicates that the fueling is still somewhat under control with the BLM pegged.

0% EGR is normal when you are not moving. Check your fuel pressure. If your fuel pump is not keeping
up or your regulator is set a bit low it may cause high BLMs. I'm no expert, but i've chased some lean issues
before. Check for vacuum leaks too.

What is your fuel pressure with the vacuum line removed? You seem to be on the lean side but not bad. You have what you need to
dial that in, logging software and an adjustable FPR. Raise the fuel pressure a little at a time til the BLMs come into line.
