The all-stock 11:1 LT1 will not rev past 5300 rpm. It pulls strong until the fun is supposed to begin, then quits revving, breaks up, and backfires.
The engine was rebuilt in 1989 (I have photos, notes on specs, balancing, cam, etc.) and has approximately 10-12,000(?) miles since.
Note, this no-rev problem did not happen when I first bought the car in April 2002 when it recieved a basic tune-up after aquiring it.
Last month, the valves were adjusted, a new cap and rotor installed, the carb was "rebuilt", and an NOS Stat Pole from TI Distributor and upgraded circuit board (from TI Specialty) was installed.
The carb rebuild was minor. I think the mechanic ordered some sort of basic kit of gaskets, rod, etc?
Please offer suggestions and thanks!
