Ok first off Hi to all.
I just bought a 86 TC. Just now finding and fixing all the little problems with it. I have noticed lately that if i take a hard left hand turn while accelerating the motor chokes up like its not getting fuel. But this doesn't happen in a right hand turn. Any ideas???

How much gas in the tank? They do have problems with fuel escaping the pick up on hard accel or turns if you don't keep enough in the tank

I may be wrong about this, but I thought there is a vertical baffle plate inside the tank that is suppose to keep the gas from sloshing about. I have heard of these coming loose which then lets the gas slosh around unrestricted thus causing the pickup tube to momentarily be above the gas level.

Anyway verify this info.
