Here are a few pics. So far it is going well.

 

UPS comes through.

 

A little paint to keep the heads from rusting.

 

I guess a picture would be nice.

 

Hope Chris can remember where all these go!!!!

 

I "special" made a tool today for the last PITA manifold bolt. Me and my brother took a craftsman 9/16inch socket and stuck it on his lathe I also snagged an extra long 9/16 wrench just in case. Be there in a little bit hopefully we can finish this sucker soon. I want to hear the car with the new pipes installed.

 

Made good progress today. The new heads are on, the L98 cam is in and the Hooker Super Comps are on. Nice and shiny.

 

Hey what is the little white thing sticking out of the engine by the header, the thing with the silver tip on the end.

OH MY ***, IT'S A SPARK PLUG!!!!!!

I never saw one of those from the top before!

 

Chris doing some adjustments to the valves.

 

Having a bit of a problem with the 4 center bolt holes on the intake. But we will get it sorted out tomorrow.

Should have it put back together late tomorrow afternoon.

 

How much he chargin' ya for the cam install? I may want to enlist his services as well....

Luckily I got to hear this car before any work so I'm really looking forward to hearing this bad boy after you guys get that thing put together! Maybe sometime early Jan. I'll be able to make it out to the pavillions and see it!!

I hope we will have it running by then. Hit some snags after it got all put back together. Fires up but does not want to stay running. We will get it figured out eventually.

 

Lol, if you had it running on the first try it would have been amazing! I don't think I've ever seen that happen! When you get it all done and detailed I'm getting a 5 megapixel camera here in the next week of so and I'll come get some nice artsy shots for ya... :rockon:

fthose headers sure do look nice what cam did you put in your car?

 

The cam was from an L98.

 

Here is the finished product.

 

Good now Chris can hook me up with some emissions help!

 

Is it running?

 

Not running yet. We are going to try again this weekend.

 

what exactly is it doing? if you want i can stop by and take a look. is it getting fuel ? make sure when u put the distributor back in that u had number at on the top of the compression stroke. you dont want to get it 180 out. that sux,ive done it,lol.

 

You can take a look at it if you want Sebastion. I will be home Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday.

 

Not to sound defensive.....but I know I did everything by the book with the install, timing is set at 6 degrees initial and car idles good, it wouldn't do that if the distributor was 180 degrees off. Its the EFI that craps out when it switches from open to closed loop.

 

That sucks man!

 

I agree with Chris. I think its either EFI or vacuum. We will find out this weekend.

 

u need an injector tester or fuel pressure tester i got a noid light for tbi and a fuel pressure tester.

 

If it's a closed loop problem, unhook the o2 sensor and the ECM will stay in open loop until you plug the o2 back in.

 

That's simple enough for even a knucklehead like me. Thanks. I will give it a try.

 

Do not go running around town in open loop, it runs the motor lean unless you modify how open loop fueling occurs.

idle is fine though

 

I would not run around town like that. I would only use it for trying to get the car back on the road.
