Cliff, I did not get there...

My '84 900T (208k) has been ailing for a while. Mysterious condition where the car runs very weak, backfires under boost and power flattens out (no, it's not the overboost switch). I've swapped the ECU, APC box, pressure transducer, distributor, plugs, wires, CIS distribution box, etc... to try and figure out what's wrong. Three indy shops have also taken a shot to no avail. Car scored 124 compression on all holes and leakdown was over 50% on cyl 2 & 3. Seems like the rings and/or valves have had it. No indication of head gasket leakage. Rather than rebuild locally, I fell into a used engine to swap and this was the day I was going to drive it down to Lesco (240 miles) to start the process. Dave was to check compression and leakage, then we'd swap engines later. So last night we loaded the donor engine and some other stuff into the car. I got 40 miles from home and the car quit. Damn! Towed back home.
So Cliff, I did not get there.
