Alrighty. Fired it up today, and it idled well. The vacuum leak I have referenced coming from the lower intake is still there though.. might just need a new intake, or the heads were machined prior to me getting ahold of this engine. It idled really well, and fired up right away, so I must have fixed the timing because usually it takes way more effort. I didn’t test much though because we have to pull the transmission back out as it won’t shift into reverse. Feels like there isn’t even a reverse gear present, but we’ll figure that out tomorrow. Valve covers are not sealing right either and I think that’s because the studs I installed aren’t meant for aluminum valve covers, so I’m picking up some new ones this weekend to fix that. I’ll keep everyone posted on how it goes once we get the transmission out.
