What does the lean burn system do? Can I disable it..easily? Will it make it inconsistent? Probably,huh?

Thanks in advance

Mark,

My memory is that the lean burn was always an issue and would wreak havoc with any type of spirted driving. I think the kit to replace it was the orange ignition box, two wire something like that, since sold my Street Lil Red. In fact, I think the distributor kit came with the box, and wires. Keep your original ignition piece in your glove box in the event you are stuck on the side of the road.

The mopar performance books do address the dreaded lean burn, you could also look it up on the magazines. If you don't find it within a couple of days, PM me and I will dig through my books etc here.

Good luck with the Mopar.
