It's running again
 
I finally got to take the cxar for a drive again. It has been down since last fall for a cam, heads, carb, intake and even a tranny change. Here is a short video I took yeaterday. It seems to be awful rich at idle, still. If the video doesn't have sound, you will have to click on "switch to windows media player".

Sounds great. Like the valve covers too. And the diamond plate valley covers a nice touch too.

Thanks, I tried it out Sunday afternoon. It pulls quite a bit harder than before.

Thanks. You should post some pictures of your Blazer.
He has a nice S10 Blazer with a 2005 5.3. He found an engine with less than 100 miles. That thing should run forever.

mine's pig rich right now too, needs a jet change. what cam do you have in there? also, is that the msd box or edelbrock? sounds mean and revs really nice!

It's the Edelbrock box. I unplugged the map sensor Tuesday night and it seems to be running better. Apparently it was advancing the timing way too much. I still need to change the primary jets. The carb is a 650 Speed Demon with #70 jets in the front. The cam is a one I got from a member here. I think it's actually a Comp XER grind. 224/228 581/588. I went with a non-lockup 3000 stall convertor and I'm not sure I will like that.
