Glad to hear you are okay, that was close. I haven't had a cigarette since '08. I smoked 2-3 packs a day and drank 3-4 pots of black coffee for years...that was hard to quit.

I'm going XFI so I have an ECM with a powerlogger and a scanmaster for it that I'll be selling soon.

Who said I can fix a GN? I can break them and spend a shit load of money getting them fixed to only be ripped off and have it break and find out what's supposed to be in it...isn't it. And then have to spend a shit load more money to make it do what I want...but I digress.
But yeah, it's finding a site to chase wires and find out what things are and what's supposed to go where as this isn't a stock Vette.
It's a '74 with a transplanted motor and some minor mods here and there.

Is there a decent Corvette forum for '70s Corvettes?
Is there a Steve Wood for Corvettes out there somewhere?
My Dad's '74 Vette is going to be living here for awhile while the GN is being renovated...

This will be the 4th motor...let's hope so. I'm really concerned now about what's actually in the motor (or what I was told would be in the motor but actually isn't) since the 3rd builder has decided to play a disappearing act and gone AWOL. That's the other part that sucks about living so far away from people is I can't just show up at their door.

Don said the block was damaged and I basically had three options. Epoxy it and wait for it to blow up in my face, or work it and the pistons, or just replace the damn thing.
A few people I know have it (XFI) and swear by it.
We are also upgrading the alky system since Julio is local to him.

I went back and checked your build. I see no mention of a hotwire kit for the fuel pump.
It has one. Racetronix I think.

Damn! Did all 6 blow the gasket?
#6 was "real bad" and #1 was "bad".

Right now I'd be happy with just running reliably...

Frustrating to say the least, it's in Don Cruz's hands now.
Getting a new block, girdle, XFI, TR6, double pumpers...

Whenever we started it and moved it, there would be a small puddle of oil with bright green coolant in it. I think the oil cooler hoses were routed properly, it has a turbo saver kit and a pre-luber plumbed in there as well.

No milk. Only exhaust sound that was out of the ordinary was an exhaust leak that may have been coming from the race pipe coupling. Idled smooth.

The engine oil cooler lines aren't plumbed, it's bypassed. I have no idea what the MAF is, didn't think to jot that down and it's about 7 hours away now.

BLMs at idle around 140, at WOT were steady at 132. O2s at idle were all over IIRC and at WOT were around 780-800.
When I get the car back, I need to DL powerlogger software again and get that back up and running.
