    Aluminum Driveshaft

    pretty sure my local driveline shop ripped me a new one but i had them install a yoke i provided then install both new ujoints that they provided and they balanced it for me and it cost me 180 bucks after it was all said and done, not too much more i could have just bought a new aluminum.

    so i tried to get the stock hood to fit, i used the solid motor mounts which lower it 3/4 of a inch then removed the insulation pad, then lowered it down, on my hood there isnt any bracing anywhere near anything that was close to hitting, it was all just the sheetmetal of the hood, the breather...

    good to go on the video, im not very high tech so it might take me a bit to figure out how to take a video and place it on the computer. setting the tps voltage was extremely easy, believe it or not once i set my idle stop screw i checked the voltage and it was dead nuts on .99 which i read...

    my 393 started breathing today!

    still got some black soot but its probably left over in the pipes from how it was running before doing the base idle, it was bad, real bad, couldnt even see the wifes truck directly behind the garage when i first fired it up so it will probably take a bit to clear it all out the pipes. no...

    Timing 101
