the engine is just about running right, If i can find an MSD, ill check for knock. Right now i believe there is a bit of knocking going on in the engine that is clearly audible at idle.

There is no 'knock' at idle. What we refer to as 'knock' is detonation in the cylinders cuased by the fuel igniting from sources other than the spark plug.
A knocking sound at idle is totally different and should be addressed.
I don't know of an MSD unit that displays knock, unless its some big dollar controller. Get a cheap scan tool or gauge from Caspers. And a boost gauge while you're at it. Don't do any "modifying" without boost and knock gauges.
The two gauges will cost less than $100 and are easy to install. No excuses. If you can't handle this, start walking.
i think he has ping not knock. correct me if im wrong 83 turbo.
btw do the dang test everyone tells you to do and get the right carb. the test everyone is telling you to do are easy.
what the compression check, did that along time ago. Im still looking for the proper carb. a ping is probably more appropriate to say than a knock. Right now the engine runs, I just need to change the tranny fluid, add a bit of coolant, and replace that damn 6 spark plug![]()
He needs an E4ME Matt. You've got a 4ME which doesn't have electronic controls.
did you do a compression check of all 6 cylinders? when you do change the plugs take a picture of each one and post it; that will tell us more info on what going on inside the motor. you know i have the proper carb you need.

does autozone sell a rebuild kit for the e4me carb?
