SUppose it could still be bad. car has no visible smoke even when cold. Car does smell like unburned fuel after flooring it. New plugs wires and air cleaner. New cap and rotor for distributer just changed oil and ran guarnted to pass brand carb cleaner stuff. Adjusted carb mixture screw about a full turn it was turned all the way up (tuned it acording to haynes manual) I hope the carb isnt bad. Car really runs well and pulls pretty strong (for what it is at least). It DOES hesitate when floored but pulls after that. Dont know what else to do other than pay the place $100 to diagnose and tell me whats wrong. I hate emissions.

83 GS with 106k and mystery history. I got it free and have been resuscitating it. Got the smogs down in range except for idle HC (idle is at 1050 now, just below CA smog idle limit).
