First attempt at photos
I'm still not happy with the proformance of the Vette. It seems to be missing power on acceleration. Feels like distributor is not advancing. Do I need to do something to the ECM after replacing the injector?
Anyway, here are some photos of the 91. Some of the parts placement is not where they are supposed to be according to my book and are where they should be on a 92.
1st things first.
The #1, #2 of 9 and #11 of the treasured in my life.
Wife, grand-daughter, Vette
Some are just shots I liked
If y'all have any ideas, I sure would welcome them.

Re: First attempt at photos (subman)
First off, nice pics, second, keeping the pics at a smaller size helps the forum run smoother.
Also teh forum software will automatically reduce the size of photos if they are too large, but by clicking on it, they will enlarge to teh original size, but we discourage making the pics too large since they may be reduced in size for teh post, but they are still large on your computer and a lot of people have trouble opening posts with large(bytes) pics.

Re: First attempt at photos (Cal Vette)
I think I can answer all ?'s here.
I believe the color is a Lexus champagne gold, however it is PPG 4454. Had to have it repainted when I was crashed by a semi.
Yep, grand-daughter is a awesome for 14.
Just turned 111,000 on my way to work this morning.
Just had the cats tested - 2#'s is good, 7#'s is bad. Mine (pre cats and main) are at 4#'s, 5#'s and 4#'s.
I am comparing it to "before" new injectors. It just seems to bog on even acceleration. Kinda like a bad vacuum advance on a early small block.
Reading some of the other posts re: injectors, there seems to be a disagreement on changing the FPR, changing the ECM settings, ect. when replacing the injectors with other than OEM. I put in Bosch/Ford 21# to replace the OEM. I think the jury is still out on proformance and mileage.
Thanks for all the replys and help.

Re: First attempt at photos (subman)
Interesting on your arrow of "cold start" should be here?? Your '91 underhood looks identical to my late '90. Wondering if those changes perhaps didn't occur again until later '91?? See if you can actually figure out a build date from either the vin code. I also could tell by dates written on parts, like inside my radiator shroud was a 5/15/00 date written in grease pencil or something.

Re: First attempt at photos (Trog)
Subman,
to the best of my knowledge the 90-91 cars did not have a cold start solenoid (my 90 doesn't). I had some hesitation with my L-98 after I installed my Mini-Ram. It turned out to be the vacum hose that connects to the fuel pressure regulator. I don't know if that is a factor or not with your car, just a thought.
