I have been having issues with the Fast efi system. It was doing some strange things and I was making adjustments to try to compensate but now for the few last days it would dump fuel under acceleration causing a bog. So last nite I reset everthing and for the engine size I put in a 350 instead of the 355 I had in there before. I took it for a nice drive today and it seems like the system was confused by the last digit being a 5 instead of a 0 because it is running alot better and I have left all the default settings. I was getting ready to dump this Fast system and go with the Holley efi this winter..... :popcorn:

Agreed. Unfortunately, reality was changing plugs and wires in the Tahoe. Really need a G body that both runs AND drives

Changed the oil; put some of that Engine repair liquid stuff in with the oil along with a touch of Zinc. May not help the problem any but so long as I can start the car get up and down the ramps or turn it around as you see here in the pic then the longer it lasts the better. Just a few more bits here an there to do while I am saving for the SBC 350. The way things are going the new Engine probably won't happen until toward the end of November, Still could be a chance of it happening sooner that will just depend on a few things.

Right now I am awaiting for the new paint I put onto the Taillights to dry, I also re-paint the Plate - Fuel filler area once again except for the top part of it to match the taillights. I'll show you when I get it all together tomorrow.

This was a very $hitty Vacation with the 6" inches of snow we got on Tuesday it's all melted now but the mountain still has some lingering on it's top. . Allot more stuff around the house to get done too. Hopefully it'll stay warm a bit longer.
