Well, while you guys were out showing and selling I was sweating & Bleeding under my car today. I started at about 9am and had everything done by 3:30. I had to drop the tranny to switch the block plates out. In order to drop the tranny, I had to take off the drivers side header, oil dipstick, steering shaft, exhaust, driveshaft and starter.

This is what happens when you use the wrong block plate!

After getting all of those metal chunks cleaned off of my flexplate, I hit it with a scotch pad on my die grinder and cleaned it up. Installed everything and gave it a try...............

Thanks guys! I meant to clean off those cob webs, but I was tired as hell! I still have to set the hot lash this coming weekend and get a tune. Can't wait to get this thing onto the track!

I did take it for a test drive. The A/F is in the 20's @ idle. When I got on it a little it did get into the 13's, but I don't want to blow a head gasket this late in the game. :)

20?????????

I thought anything higher than 15 was dangerous?

A/F isn't going to damage anything at idle. I'm not sure when the tune will happen. I have to figure out a way to fit it into my budget and then there is the issue of towing it to L.A.

Thanks for the offer, but I don't use other peoples cars/trucks. If you were here that's different, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable using it. Thanks though.
