well looks like my buddy and.i are going.to start pulling.the.truck apart this weekend... least thats the.plan.

shod be hearing back from sean about.my.custom tune tomorrow then all i need to do is get the new injectors from zman.

cant wait to get this thing started!

 

getting ready to head to zmans house here in a bit. when i get back, im going to start pulling the truck apart.

getting pretty excited about this!!

 

All I can add at this time is, take your time don't rush anything don't let little stupid things get under your skin if they don't go right. Keep your work area clean so as no accidents happen. Cell phone off so you don't get distracted from your work. Keep your new pup away from the work area as well, don't need him getting sick from drinking some flavor of fluid. If you drink keep the beers away until the day is over with, then sit down and enjoy a drink or two.

Edit: When I go to start a new motor for the first time I always have a fire extinguisher at hand just in case.

 

He doesn't drink, and his puppy is cute as hell. But I agree, keep the pup away from the work for now until she gets a little older. Another 10 pounds and we'll let Angus have a go at her. ;

Seriously though, had a bad experience with Angus when he was a pup and some AF.

 

i do drink, just not often enough. got some ice cold bud in the cooler from when i built the motor. didnt drink em all. haha.

 

played around with the motor some more today. fixed my distributor issue, so now its all pointing the correct way.

gotta re-install the oil pump, and pan again tomorrow. as well as install the injectors that i bought off zman today.

didnt do anything to the truck like i wanted to do, so next chance will be thursday and friday. gotta drive to the other side of the state on saturday, then sunday the motor will be in, and hopefully running!

 

How long does that take? 15 minutes?

 

dick! haha

'bout 2-2 1/2 hours i live on the border of maine, and i need to go to the vermont border. both in southern nh

 

Heehee...... ( about 16 hours to do that here........)

 

gonna be in the mid 50's today! time to start running wires for the new oil psi gauge, and the new wideband gauge. pics WILL follow!!
