Good luck on the maintenance work Andrew. I have been fighting my own problem on the 84, MICE...I found droppings, insulation and a nest (was empty). I now have 5 dead mice and haven't seen any evidence of others. I haven't pulled the seats to look under them yet or have checked the blower motor another favorite spot for them I guess. I believe the only electrical trouble so far is the radio won't come on, the car will start and the gauges and dash lights work so I am hoping it's just wires ate...I am thinking of coming out to the corvette cup again possibly, haven't decided yet. Good Luck with your work and your car is still one of my favorites. Later... Dale

Tyler your old engine looks pretty good for 144k miles. Good luck with the install of the new engine. Is Matt helping you out on the install? Later... Dale

Yep, sure is. Vista was an operating system that was pushed through before it was actually ready. XP is by far a better OS than vista was. Win7 is so much better than Vista or XP. I do agree with everyone else, a clean install would be better. Good Luck to ya...

Just found this on another forum for you. I hope this helps you out..
TTS NOT Vista compatible The vendor got back to me and confirmed that TTS Datamaster is not Vista compatible and they won't get around to fixing it "any time soon" if at all.

I had the same code on my 84. I pulled the computer and reseated the chip about 3 times and each time unhooking the battery to clear the code, but the code kept coming back. I replaced the chip about two years ago and haven't had the code return. Had the same symptoms that you did.

Hey how was the show this past week-end? I was so looking forward to going, but things happened and was unable to get off work, someone beat me to the date and they won't let two people off at the same time. Any way hope you took some pics and can post them up.

Matt,
That thing looks awesome!!!! I wish I could see it in person, but that isn't going to happen. I won't be making the trip to the show at the end of the month. Anyway congrats on getting the engine built and the beast running.

TJ,
I have owned 3 blazers all with four wheel drive, including the '00 I am driving now. Never had any problems with the engines. Good vehicles in my opinion, but you all ready know that with your ZR2, which was what I was looking for before settling on the blazer. Good Luck with your latest purchase. I am certain between you and Matt you guys will figure it out.

Nice 84 you have there Kay. Just wondering about the air cleaners you have on there. I would guess that you still have the crossfire injection due to the location of the air cleaners. Any problems with running those air cleaners? I would like to do something different than the big box on mine. I like your set up.

I am in the process of putting in a new cooling fan switch in my 84. I just purchased the switch today. I was getting things ready to install tomorrow..I just looked at the harness/pigtail and the end that goes into the switch is very broken up and brittle. The other end of the wire looks like it goes to a ground on the engine, am I right in saying this or is it more involved? I am using the stock setup as it works pretty good until I found the switch broken. I am not putting in a manual switch to control the fans myself, so it will be kept stock. I am going to order the factory harness/pigtail today. Any help would be appreciated...
