I made a booboo…
I ordered the wrong rotors. I got base C7 but I needed z51 (j55) rotors.

Drove it to work since the weather broke and it was going to be a nice day.

Runs great when it runs right

Then, at quittin' time, it was back to needle/seat/float and accel pump sticking. Done. game over. Time to decide between new intake/carb, Fuel injection, or new caretaker.

I've been slacking, but went to a big show here over the weekend. Here are some cool pics a local photographer took of it. Also, my buddy Cory's 86 SS with gen4 5.3 and T56 6 speed sitting on all umi and viking setup for autocross. He's running Vette brakes and 275 square...

I vote fuel injection such as Holley sniper. I’ve got the msd atomic and my dad is running the first gen fitech. By far one of the best improvements we’ve ever made. Plus we aren’t even running timing control yet. Both cars can sit for months and they always fire right up! But if you are set on a new care taker that wagon would look great next to my el camino, I do need a rear seat for the soon to be new baby!

I installed a ODB2 connector
I found out the dongle i had already, OBDlink, had an app that can be gauges and do some datalogging
wouldve been nice to know this 3 months ago cuz i spent 500cdn on 3 different gauge clusters and not one read correctly
little did i know my phone or tablet could display temps and voltage and rpm, not for free but kinda for free cuz i already had the tablet, phone and dongle.

now i just gotta learn how to use the data logging to see if i can fix rich ondition

i also just replaced all the shocks which were leaking and mostly toast and then found out i have the F41 sport supension upgrade.

Drove it, had 68* air temp, which is nice and cool for Florida... felt amazing, car ran strong.

Wasted some time in the garage last night still trying to get the top head unit to run the air ride, was tracing the USB cables and accidentially disconnected the USB wire for the Air ride box. So had to contort myself all kinds of crazy ways to try and get it back in, finally was able to do that and then disconnect the correct USB. But the USB hub I was going to use to test the theory that the head unit isn't giving enough juice through the USB to fire up the Dongle wouldn't power up. So have to go get one today to give that a shot at some point
