I never would have guessed that.

Because GM and Chrysler weren't lazy

So what all needs done to get the 'Turd on the road?

pushing it out of the driveway into the street and setting it on fire.

A pedal bike would put a whoopin on me at this point.

Proportioning valve, bleed brakes, flush fuel system possibly injectors as they need a tapping right now to start, power window switch, reinstall alternator radiator shroud. Oil change some bulbs and I think that's it. Fuel gauge now appears to be working after new battery cables

Damn, that's a short list that you can probably knock out in a weekend.

**GTP231** · 08-13-2018, 03:53 AM

If I could be left alone and had a proportioning valve

**GTP231** · 08-13-2018, 10:49 AM

Guess that makes me a certified dumbass

**GTP231** · 10-23-2018, 05:29 AM

Not sure if this will work. Received the copyright notice nonsense

***SMWS6TA*** · 10-23-2018, 05:59 AM

That doesn't sound like a LS in it yet.....

That radio is stuck on 80's music too......

Gotta pass inspection with it stock so I can register it antique. After that I'll start doing all the fun shit

Working on flushing the cooling system of whatever funk was still in the block

After running it on Saturday and burping the system saw this. Hell no I put in mostly water so yeah gotta flush it

Get to do it the fun way at home joy

**pajeff02** · 10-24-2018, 02:36 AM

Looks like it'll be a threat to other motorists in 2019. Good to see progress.

**GTP231** · 10-28-2018, 06:09 PM

Just flushing away today

It is burning off the oil soaked on the manifolds from the valve cover gaskets that were leaking. Looks like lucked out with them. Before there would be oil running onto the floor when I'd shut it off at the rear of the engine. That's not happening now. I thought for sure it was gonna need a rear main or intake gaskets
