ok so i bought this ...'91 saturn truck thing my buddies call the "chevurn" it a '91 saturn body on what i was told was a '76 chassis. so according to the guy i bought this monstrosity from there is supposed to be a 4.3 engine in it that has its ignition modified to work like an old carburated engine without the computer hook up. now i had a '84 bronco II that i had swapped out the ingntion system with a mustang II ignition system in wich i eliminated the use of the computer and swapped out the dizzy and changed the ignition coil and added a duraspark box. i am not sure if there is a similar process for the 4.3l engine but according to the guy thats kinda what he did. now this thing is kinda running like crap rite now and i could use some help if anyone gets what im dealing with. heres a pic of my...thing and you gotta admit...this thing is effen weird! i could really use some help here! thanx in advance!

 

We are going to need some more information first... Define "running like crap" a bit better. That could mean anything like it just doesn't have much power to it barely wants to stay running.

 

wheres the picture???

 

well it definately lacks power but it also sat in one spot for like 10 months the guy said so that could have someting to do with it. also i have to regulate the fuel pressure manualy with a turn valve that has a gauge on it and ive been keeping it at around 6 psi like the guy told me to do. im gonna try to do a simple tune up this weekend and ill let you know if i notice any change. so what happens is that when i step on the gas it wants to bogg out then when i get it up to speed it wont go over like 45. here is a pic of what it looks like:

Need some more information on the motor? What has been done to it? We can't see through sheetmetal and a picture may not help... You need to get some numbers off of the carb, intake, distributor, etc.
