*** Back to School (September) TRAIN ***

I know why I got this Blazer for free.


This damn 4.3 fights me like an abused dog.


Has anyone ever seen a 5/16th square head driver?


The water plug for the head required one to get the damn thing off the old head.

So wasting 1.5 hrs trying to find/figure out how to solve this. Ended up sacrificing a torqux driver and grind it squre to fit.

LS1 swap at this point would have almost sounded easier.

I had square drive plugs in the block drains on the Regal. Bought some 8 point sockets and still had to shim one to fit.

Anybody wanna take a quick pic of the driver side wiper arm? I feel like I'm missing a piece to where it bolts down, I have a huge hole there and it can't possibly be like that...

Sent you a picture over Facebook.

Had a great weekend. Nothing cooler than watching old stuff fly down the track. They ended the Jalopy Showdown with a wheel stand contest. There was a guy there running an old school truck with a modern diesel engine. He wound it up at the line and snapped the driveshaft -- I don't think the truck had moved an inch when it let go.

Probably one of those deals where you have to have facebook to see it. Still works on my end?

Video is set to private. Told me I have to be a friend to view it.

What the fuck is the name of the place that sells the stickers at real good prices? Like the Ram Air/Trans Am/taillight bird's and such....

Monday again.

Starting down to Fall Carlisle on Thursday. Will be at the show Friday and Saturday and then back up to the Beaver house that evening. Really don't have a whole lot on the shopping list, so will spend my time just basking in the sensory overload of complete and total unadulterated car porn.

Killed the ECU in the truck

Lesson learned...don't knock the tuner cable out of the OBDII plug while it's connected.

I hate, I mean really loath Enhanced Distributor Ignition.


Spent all day yesterday trying to line up the oil gear to place the distributor in the correct position after I got it TDC on #1 and in correct position with the tabs. Still can't get it right. It turns over and over but will not start.

The cap & rotor are new (bought them after the radiator hose split).

I know it's getting spark to the wires because I took them off the plugs and saw each plug wire fire.
