"Bad engine design"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I own a 1984 corvette with crossfire injection

and it's a big problem.

It blew the head gasket at 145,000 miles.

General comments?

No one including the Chevy dealer wants

to look at the car. The car will not idel

and stalls in gear, hesitates and sometimes

backfires thru the intake manifold. I have replaced

all the engine managment sensors. I noticed that

the gas tank gasket leaks some gas, but I'm not sure

if not having a absolute vacume in the gas tank

would cause all my problems. I have also adjusted

the valves to 3/4 turn. Some mechanics say 1/2 turn.

Whats correct?

I'm about ready to sell the car. Any suggestions would

really help. Thanks

Chuck

Most people scrap the crossfire stuff and drop in a carbed engine/fuel system.
