well, ..... it used to have 3 different v6's init, and the last one was probably more powerful than the current mill.





I still have the H.O. V6 decal on the back, just because
I know, I know, it aint a 6, but then I don't troll either, huh????

Hey Nate at least the car is driveable now for the first time in years! What is the blue thingy hanging above the radio pod?
Only thing I see that I would do differently is move that fuel pressure regulator over to the inner fenderwell and away from the heat of the engine- is it bracketed directly to the thermostat housing or intake manifold? If so, you may have vapor lock problems. I had a metal inline fuel filter on my V8 swap S10 and I ran it for "neatness" inline behind the alternator bracket- caused me a bunch of grief until I figured out what was wrong!

it's an old dolphin air freshner. the afpr is currently bolted to teh intake manifold. Really sucks that the 3800, I feel, was more powerful @ 200hp & 225tq, w/2 fewer cylinders. oh well
when it runs again I'll be 
eric17422001, what fuel pump where you using? never really heard of vapor lock w/an electric fuel pump running.
