Also is there anyone who sells v rated white walled tires? My car is dark blue with parchement interior, and with the bright work, a white walled tire looks surprisingly better on this car.
Thanks

Typically bad injection pumps tend to run rich, due to wear in the fuel cam. They have their own oil supply (sump, dipstick) and this must be changed from time to time. Also, one critical tip -- DO NOT ADJUST THE MIXTURE WITH THE CAR RUNNING. This will immediately screw up the pump. You rotate the mixture control knob ONLY with the engine off. I believe you can get information either at
www.m-100.info or via a question at
www.m-100.cc about how to adjust the mixture, I'm not going to go into it here.
Your best bet is to have a mechanic familiar with the mechanical injection system, adjust and calibrate it. Not too many of these around. These pumps are quite fiddly and you can get into trouble if you don't know what you are doing. Normally most of them do require some level of adjustment.
You can get whitewall tires but not in the speed and load rating that the car requires, in the stock 14" wheel size. IT's a compromise really. You may want to try Coker Tire (
www.cokertire.com) and discuss with them what options they would have available for the car. The 6.3 came stock with a V-rated tire of the 205-70-14 size (actually a P-Metric equivalent) and many owners use H-rated 215-series touring rubber instead, because they can't get proper V-rated rubber anymore. Only US 6.3s had whitewalls, all European and many US cars had blackwall tires, which I view as being more "proper" for the nature of the 6.3. I think Tire Rack and Coker Tire would be your best bets to investigate here.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Gerry
