Well hopefully we will have good results tomorrow. I'm working on it over at his house so after already making one tool run I called it a day. Couldn't get the damn BBK underdrive pulley to separate from the hub. So I guess I will just pull the whole hub tomorrow, and hopefully don't have such a hard time getting it back on.

So its back up and running. Opti screw had come out, and the washer for that screw was in the lower portion with the disc and all that. Not rusted in there at all. So I don't know if he can use that opti down the road as a spare? Nothing looks really chewed up or anything inside.

So I'm still amazed at what is probably the smallest screw on the whole car can shut the whole thing down.

I also tightened up 4 loose plugs, found the #1 plug wire connection was recessed at the opti, so I changed that wire out, etc... I'm expecting this car to run a bit stronger than it had the first three days it ran.

She is roaring like a monster now after we did the opti and fixed some little stuff.

Now, if only I could tell is the opti we took out was working I could try to sell it on here. Could use the cash!

Apparently the wife said it's "knocking" and not shifting like normal. Just waiting for corey to come over so we can see what the hell is wrong with it. This car is just giving me non stop heartburn and anxiety anymore......
