hi. iv just put a redtop in my nova i think its a later engine because it has a coil pack rather than a dizzy and coil. the problem im having is it has a missfire but only wen revved from idle and when it misses it seems to start running rich and then backfires. iv tried coolant temp sensor, lamda sensor throttle pos sensor and its still there. any ideas. any help will be grately apprieciated. cheers :thumb:
