Also put in fresh VR1 10W30 and a Wix 51258 oil filter. The Wix Protec filter looks identical inside to the NAPA Gold 1258 filter inside. My new oil filter cutter worked way better. Some metal but less than the last oil change Those oil pressure numbers in the video are the fresh 10W30, still really good.

Glad to hear there's less metal in the oil, that's mildly promising.

There are going to be multiple short oil changes. I have two six packs of VR1 10W30 on hand.

Ok so the Speedmaster 1200 cfm throttle body showed up. I still need the TPS and adapter. It is a nice looking and operating throttle body. I did have to tap the map sensor port for a plug and had to tap the throttle cable stud to 1/4" fine for my stud. I adjusted the throttle cable and relocated a drilled an extra hole for the kick down. I also reviewed the first piece of the puzzle for the TKX swap.
