Fired it up this morning to a CEL. The code came back as a P0304, so I went ahead and picked up some Autolite spark plugs.
Cleared the code and so far, the CEL hasn't returned. I was a little shocked that the plugs fixed it. I was expecting plugs/wires.
Changed out the power steering pressure hose. Sprang a pretty massive leak a few days ago. This was a job that was WAY harder than it should have been.
And lastly, my grille is now black, and bodymatched the honey combs. Looks pretty sick, to me. I totally need a new grille, because mine is hanging one by only a couple of screws, lol.

It's dark outside and I live in the sticks, so I don't have much for lighting after dark. I did the best I could with my phone, but you can kind of get the idea. I'll get some better pics.
This, along with trim being black (originally chrome), really makes the truck look more aggressive.

Installed a guage pod, with a oil pressure guage and a vacuum/ boost guage. Haven't gotten the oil pressure guage installed yet, but tis pretty entertaining to watch the vacuum drop with increased throttle. Noticed my wild vents only start blowing between 2-7 psi of vacuum. Outside of that area, they don't blow. Tis weird.
Also, for the first time in the 13 years, I've been around this vehicle, owned by my wifes father, he let me drive it. And, when I was trying to take it easy, he told me to quit being a p@#sy, and punch it. O...M...G!! He just had the old '70 LT1 swapped for a 383 stroker motor (unfortunately the same 350 turbo tranny though), but it made 408 hp on the dyno, and it's complete ***** to the wall. He says the old Lt1 was making mid 13 quarters, and he expects to get into the 12's with this motor. He's looking to put a 400 turbo tranny in it, and cut those times down even more. Roasts tires through first and second, and chirps 3rd like a beast. The cam/lope sound gives me goosebumps, it's so badass with straight pipes, turned out the sides. Anyways, here's a pic, but without seeing the pearl blue, and ghost flames on the sides in person, the pics can't do it justice. I'm kissing a$$ hardcore, to get my name in the will for that ride, lol.
