. That aluminum Olds we put in there brightened it's performance some 
3:23's. Ya, 4:30's will be fun if you can get them to hook on the street. Stoplight to stoplight.The dart i assume? thing sounds good.... I am already wondering how long i am gonna be able to stand the 4.30s... kind of jealous of you going over 60![]()
3:55's are a great gear.when i do the new motor i will prolly switch to 3.55 or 3.23
Wow walked a guy through his elect ign problem. Three hours later and a lot of frustration he had a Pet II coil in his system and it shorted!
Seems pretty much how I do it. just follow those instructions you're a smart guy, it will come to you.Here is the problem I have with needing help with checking valve lash............
I understand the below statement, but I don't understand how you will know when it is open or closed enough for the check? Is it so obvious, or is it experience and feel?
EOIC stands for Exhaust Opening, Intake Closing when working with the intake and exhaust valves in a single combustion chamber. To use this method, pull the valve cover so that you can see the rockers and valve stems and turn the engine over by hand. (You can also use a bump starter if you choose.) Work with only one pair of valves from a single combustion chamber at a time. When you see the exhaust valve beginning to open-you will see the rocker begin to push the valve stem down-you will know that the corresponding intake valve is fully closed with the lifter on the base circle of the cam lobe. Likewise, when you see the intake valve fully open and then start to close (Intake Closing), you will know the corresponding exhaust valve is ready to be checked. Repeat the process with each pair of valves on the engine.
Got it somehow!
It is rough walking some one through that. He had a RE unit in there that crapped out and kept going back to that diagram!![]()

Usually once a week. This guy is a good guy dealt with him for years. Otherwise, I would not have done it.Doing stuff over the phone is a *****... i do computer stuff and i have to tell people where like the enter key is on a keyboard. it makes me nuts.. most of the time i just say bring it in.. it will take 30 seconds and i won't be as enraged as this phone call is bout to make me.
this needs something from a front wheel drive put in the back and make it a 2 seater. some V6 with twin turbo's would be just about right...engine cover would be a bunch of gutted suitcases to give it that sleeper/I'm on vacation look.

i do mine at 6am.. cause **** being around humansTime to go grocery shopping, I'm out of everything.![]()
