She Lives
well i'm te starter of the cam and intake swap thread and today she has risin form a week of sleep...
lots of issues to be cleared up yet but i got her stared...
dist was 180 out (of course) and i needed to advance it to get it started..
some leakes at the manifold plugs, idle sounds good, i'm thinking i need to check the lash on my rockers.
ses light flashes rapidly (wondering if i installed chip wrong)
all in all everything sounds ok want to thank all who helped with advice and ideas!

Hey congrats. I would re-adjust the rockers while the car is running if you had previously adjusted them when the engine was off. Where did you get your chip again from? You may need to put the stocker back in to see if the ses light goes off.

Putting the chip in upside down can fry it
I made that mistake.
(This caused the engine light to flash rapidly. It stopped when
I flipped it over, but the car ran like crap)
It gave me an excuse to pick up a new ECM ($70 at the auto parts store) and a chip from Fastchip.com
(I wasn't about to risk frying the new chip)
