BUILD THREAD 87 Cutlass EFI build: 9/13/23..NEW STUFF!

You got them backwards.

J/K!!! You're good. In actuality, here's a tip when applying door jamb decals. They were never put on perfectly. They have a general location they go and bam! They're stuck in whatever spot they're stuck. They're like fingerprints- no two are alike.

Looks good!

Here's another picture to show you no two cars are always alike:

That's how mine were factory as well. Doesn't make sense with the VIN decal being on the edge as pictured. I didn't think it looked right so they were eyeballed straight lol.
I ended up finding some pics online that made my anxiety spike....crooked decals,air bubbles, like geez!

Decals were mandated by the feds, and I guess they thought nobody ever looks at door jamb certification labels and give a flying f*ck whether they're on straight or not. Most people don't even look at them.

Well guys, for the 1st time since the 355 died the Cutlass moved under it's own powa!!!!!!! Nothing crazy, just backed it out of the garage, pulled back and forth a few times.
The tune obviously needs to be dialed in, but I'm soooo pumped to have gotten this far!

Seriously thought about it, but kept my brain level. It was almost dark, I'd rather be out in the light of the day for a shakedown stroll. Soon enough though, gotta look at some codes that are stored.

Awesome man! I admire your patience. I would never stopped at that. When I got my new engine configuration running I was blasting up and down the gravel road with out headlights or a front header at 10 o'clock at night. Not saying that was a good idea though.
