[DML] Frustrated beyond belief

[Phil Priestley <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Been trying to get this #$*%@! car drivable for  months now. If it's 
not been one thing it's been another.  Had the heads fixed after 
coolant had eaten through them. It ran well afterwards but had an 
engine miss.

The rpm relay went out, replaced that. The frequency valve stopped 
working, put a new one in. Put in a new Lambda probe. Cleaned and 
gapped the plugs. Put a new set of plug wires and  cap in. cleaned the 
contacts and grounds for everything. Car also has a new CPR, fuel pump, 
fuel accumulator, idle speed motor, idle speed micro switch, new vacuum 
hoses, thermal lambda probe, thermal vacuum switch, compression is good 
and matched on all cylinders. AND IT STILL RUNS LIKE $^%#!

The exhaust reeks like raw fuel, won't accelrate, has a weird exhaust 
note, backfires and blows rich black smoke out the pipes. I know that 
the lamba system is working and with the new FV i am at least getting a 
response when i try to adjust the air fuel mixture but the thing still 
swings wildly and is rich. If it were vacuum leaks it would be running 
lean rather than rich.

I am getting real frustrated with having this monster that keeps eating 
up my money but yet I never get to drive it. It ran reasonably well 
before I fixed all the stuff that wasn't working.
