Took the Javelin AMX out for a drive this morning and
it ran fine (about 12 mi on freeway).  Drove to a car
show late afternoon and at about 65-70 the car
statrted surging.  It stopped after 3-5 surges but did
it again before we arrived at the car show (this was
during an 11 mi freeway run.  On the way home 9about 4
hours later) it did the same thing.  I gave it more
gas and it stopped doing it.  The second time it
started surging I tried to give it more gas and it
stopped surging but started to slow and felt like it
would stall.  I let up on the gas this time and it
recovered.  
Any suggestions?
Engine is a recently rebuilt 401 (approx 300 mi on
rebuild with Indy head, RMP Air Gap, Edelbrock 750
man, MSD Ready To Run distrib).  
Thanks.
Marty

A friend of mine is losing his home soon, so he cleared out his stuff and I 
ended up with a Nash/Jeep 327 that had a TH400 behind it. I haven't got the 
adapter ring yet (someone borrowed it to make an adapter diagram for 
something else) Had an '86 Grand Wagoneer pointed in my direction as well 
(sans front axle) but I'm already too deep into projects to start another.

Had a 17 YO kid come in today with his Sugar Momma. He graduated with 
average marks so she bought him an '06 Stang. What was he looking for you 
ask? Checking out the NOS equipment (coming back tomorrow to buy the whole 
kit she says) and wanting neon lights for in, on and under his car! :barf!:

I have a question for anyone who has used a plastic bumper stripper on a
modern car. I am now finished with most of my small projects on my
orange Hornet and due to the rainy weather I decided to start stripping
the painted 77 Hornet AMX rubber/plastic flairs. I did a test last year
and found that SEM Bumper Stripper worked quite well and didn't seem to
damage them. I had a spare one to use for the test. Once I started
stripping them I found that they were painted white over the bare
rubber/plastic and then primed and painted white again. Needless to say
I have had to apply several coats of the stripper each time scraping off
a layer of paint. I am doing 1/3 of the flair at a time. I now notice
when I get down to the almost bare rubber/plastic the flair curls up and
warps slightly. But once the excess paint and stripper is removed and is
neutralized and the flair sits over night it returns to it's original
shape. Is this normal even on new cars? This is the first time I am
doing anything of this sort so I am totally in the dark. The flairs them
selves due to their age are slightly warped to start with, but nothing
that a jig to hold them in the proper shape and a little TLC with a heat
gun will not fix. Any one have any input on this? 
"Doc"
