[IMG]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/kresge1975/1990%20Corvette/1306709615.jpg[/IMG] Done... [IMG]http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/kresge1975/1990%20Corvette/1306709613.jpg[/IMG] I think I need to do some datalogging and have Mick look it over, it idles a little funky and it smells like it's running rich. Plus when I pull up to a stop it sounds like it wants to die. The LT4 hotcam isn't that aggressive is it? We had fun with the bellhousing bolts, found out that a 9/16" ratchet wrench, a 24" extension and a ratchet that pivots at the head are all very valuable for this job. Thank you guys for all the advice and encouragement. GURU'S ROCK!! Jeff |
