LT1 355 / 1994 Trans Am / First Start and Run For the most part, the build is correct in my signature. I'll dive deeper into the details but I am sure the videos can speak for themselves for now.
First video is just after we replaced the faulty Fuel Pressure Regulator. And here is that below.
Next video is after we cleaned up some minor leaks and kinks, double-checking and triple-checking. First time moving into the driveway under its own power.
Last video is after we got her all burped out, heat cycling correctly, fluids topped up, etc. Walk around of the whole car. Interestingly, the replacement taillights were on my front steps when I got home a few minutes ago. Those will be making their way on quite soon.
Couple of notes....
1. The grinding sound you hear intermittently in the earlier videos was the clutch slave pushing the fork out too far and causing it to grind the pressure plate. It's a stock slave/master right now and the issue has seem to gone away on its own before we put the car back in the garage for the night. Tick adjustable to come.
2. The exhaust is as follows... Pacesetter LTs > 3" Y > 3" Flowmaster High Flow Cat > GMMG cat-back.
Thanks for everyone who chipped in their two cents over the years helping me with this project. More updates/pictures/videos to come.

Nice work man. I remember it was exciting just firing mine up when I put the headers on.
Hopefully you'll put some videos up of your car in action when you get everything dialed in.
