Dammit, looks like you guys had a blast and I spent my Saturday in conference room at the Loews Chicago O’Hare.  @billnparts make sure you put some of those shots in the flickr group, please.

Enjoy the show, guys!  Wish I could have been there with y’all!

@edsnova – I’ll give it a try this afternoon and see what happens.  Thanks for the info.

@royal – I thought about that, just not sure how to unfool.  I guess it’ll be trial and error.

I can confirm that @gregj had the right idea, after blowing out the idle jet the car is not stalling at idle any more.  Not completely out of the woods, however.  It now hesitates when up shifting.

@gregj – Preliminary results, not claiming victory because that would be hubris and the gods won’t like it, however, I took the idle jet out, used the air compressor to blow it and the hole where it came from out and then ran the car for 10 minutes in the garage on idle.  Can’t take it out to road test because it’s raining but if it’s dry t…[Read more]

@royal – That’s possible.  I did replace the old hose with new hoses and…[Read more]

Thanks for the tips, David.  Tried all that.  Replaced the new filter with the old filter.  Replaced all the fuel lines.  Finally gave up and put everything back the way it was before I moved the filter.  And guess what?  Still having the same problem.  Time to take it to the mechanic.

Thanks, Ed!  But I can’t take credit, Charlene took that.  Knew you and Karen would enjoy it.   😀
