Build Thread 1978 Fairmont. I bet somebody back home’s thinkin’…I wonder why he don’t write..?

Jesus man. I tore up the carpet on the stairs going into the garage. Some douche nozzle nailed it, stapled it, and glued it down. I thought my back was hurting, read "water heater" and started having flashbacks.

Mike I need a copy of the latest tune please, The fuel is actually not bad in some of the high boost regions we must have guessed right VE numbers. It is fat up top of course my histogram shows an 11AFR under full steam, I would like to see that at a 11.8ish The VVT recorded angle shows that it matches what we setup so that is definitely working. It is very rich under decel this is likely because we played with the VVT angle in the cruise region after the last tune session, we can add that VVT angle back in with a smaller value and decrease the pumping losses.. = better MPG

As stated...the attachment is the tune file for Steve to tweak. The Bov has already had its 15 seconds of fame...it’s posted at 602. And it’s toast...Now so is my left index finger.

I was holding the BOV in my left hand, and trying to see if I could get a screwdriver under the folded piece to see maybe if it could be bent back before tossing it...I couldn’t get the screwdriver under the piece of metal, so I pushed harder....
In the end, the piece broke off, and the screwdriver went on to impale my index finger, and exit that same piece of flesh 1/2” farther back.

Its just a flesh wound....;)

Fortunately it was a tiny assed screwdriver, so it only left a small hole... But that BOV will never see a ride on the Monster ever again.
