Re: 1989 L98 Engine rebuild - Part 2: prep and install

Not too much to report. I got my new racetronix / walbro fuel pump kit and got that installed the other night. Ran for about two minutes then died! Did some testing with the wires, relays, etc, found I was getting juice to the rear harness, but pump wasn't pumping. Upon pulling it out, the harness from the pump to the factory connection came loose somehow. I zip tied it together and it's a-ok.

Took the car for a test drive tonight and things still aren't right. I can feel it. Doesn't sound right either. My best guess is that the rocker arms need to be adjusted. Builder said they were already set, but I don't think so. I had a chevy blazer years ago that I did a head gasket on. Valves were overtightened and it ran the same way. So I'm going on that personal experience basis. Once I do that, I'll see how things go.

I also threw a MAT code today for the first time ever. It has to be from when I took the plenum off the other day, I think I twisted it. Hopefully I just need to pull it off and reconnect it since it's a PIA to get to.

Further updates to come.
