Getting closer to D day. I am starting to look at what to expect when tearing this thing down. Haven't tested compression yet or anything like that but that will be the very first thing that happens before anything gets taken apart.
Here is the list of other house keeping items I want to tackle.
1. Try to rid the rust in the engine bay to the best of my ability. He doesn't want to pull the engine. This is going to be an absolute pain as he wants to just hit the rust spots with black paint in order to slow the rusting down..... I'm still bugging him on this.
2. Clean up the wiring in the engine bay
3. Maybe relocate the MSD ignition box somewhere else
4. If I do number 3, I'd like to get a proper air intake system that utilizes the hope the MSD ignition box is blocking.
With this Vortech system is this something that is dynoed back in the hay day? Or did this thing typically run off an "off the self tune" and aftermarket MAFs? I am not sure how sophisticated everything was back then. For boosted applications I follow, if anything before the catalytic changes, you need a tune.
I ask that because if we do change the air intake system...will it need to be dynoed?
This car was made the same year I was born lol sorry if some of these questions seem dumb
