She Runs!

After about a year I got my baby back up and running. Right now I dropped in another 3.1L, and it took so long because we were moving at the same time

Anyways, this will allow me to enjoy her while I build up a nice V8. I dont know if I want a high revver or a low end monster, still in the works. Havent even gotten the motor over to the new house yet.

Here is proof that she runs

I still have an exhaust leak, I basically need new exhaust donuts, and then once TDS gets the Powder Coated Black Wonderbar, Ill be investing in one of those, as well as a Dynomax Catback, unless you guys think I would benifit from something else.

Ran into a few problems on the way, which you guys helped me out with. The last one that the balancer has 3 marks! Why? Probably to **** me off

That's just a bonus that GM got...the real reason is so you can actually chekc the ignition timing on any cylinder. If you notice, they are exactly 120 degrees apart, which is the firing seperation for a V6. The big one is #1/#4. But you already figured that out apparently.

Yes, those multiple marks did well to confuse me when I pulled my first v6 distributor!

Glad to her you got the car useable again.
