ordered MTI's truck wires. Still deciding if I am gonna change valve covers or not.

Also looking into HOSE CANDY vacuum kit. Anyone use these? May order that next week as well. If anyone has used them, let me known your opinion please.

Big thanks to Thunder Racing for helping me out with the camshaft, and getting it to me right when I needed it. BIG THANKS to them!! I ended up putting a similar to what I had back on my 346ci...the TRAK. I figured we knew it worked,..and worked well,..i'd try it again.

So....I drove the car.


Not 100% yet but,..mild orgasm.

Still need to do vacuum lines(to make neat), diag some ABS codes, couple bugs,..more testing. My driver side fuel injector harness must have an issue,..cause it SEEMS to go lean ,...but if you wiggle the wires, it clears up right away,..good thing I have a wideband on each bank....also car isn't going into reverse,..so I may have to adjust linkage, as it worked a few weeks ago...Anyways, I am nearing to top of a mountain. Dunno whats on the other side but,..i'm a climbing mother ******.

Hoping to return to the car next weekend.

Peace

Current pics...

Did a doughnut in the vette this weekend...which means its operating on all cylinders. Just have a coolant jug leak, cap or something. So now, I gotta register and insure it again for some street testing. Won't be another two weeks though till I get back to it. I'll do some vids of the car then. But I'm sure the car will need some test phases before dyno ready.
