dont know if any one saw jwilson's 1987 300 wagon that sold on ebay but here is the blow by blow on the trip from boston to louisville ky.
picked the car up and sorta felt the problem was mostly fuel related,car took forever to get the top speed of 65 on level ground,drove from hanson mass to ponton lake nj mostly with the emergency flashers on because most of the small grades would pull the car down to 40-45 mph.
my friend in nj had an old pressure regulator from a torch so we rigged a line off the intake manifold and sure enough it had about 2 pounds of boost at 3500 revs.
we took inventory of his garage and located a bicycle tire pump,some assortment of tubing,a piece of bamboo that we cut into sections to fit the hoses together and located the tire pump inside the car.
so now with the port plugged at the intake manifold and the tire pump pressure directed to the alda input we tested her out,two strokes on the air pump and hold it constant the thing would develop enough power to climb to 85 in a jiff.figured the nj police would understand at 85 but didnt want to press my luck.lol
ok so here is the challenge,after about 750 miles of pumping that darn pump up those hills in maryland,west va,i am ready to arm wrestle any one.
also if anyone would like to have an emergency kit of this sort i can supply. this sorta kit is priceless though if you build it your self.
