New Bushings
Ol' Blue now has new front shocks, radius arm bushings and front disk brake slider pins. I took her to Wheels4Hope yesterday for a test drive. I didn't notice any difference in the steering, but I felt a whole lot more secure knowing the front end wasn't moving around. Here's what I was concerned ab...

I'm gaining more and more confidence in the swap these days. Next is a big job replacing the bushings in the front I-beam suspension followed by the brakes. I'm gonna put her up on jackstands this morning and start ripping things apart again. I've got the O2 sensors installed so I'm poised to start ...

It's been a while since you guys have had an Audio/Video experience. Here's what the FlowMasters series 50 sound like. Crank up the volume (5.8MB): http://www.tiresmoke.org/walt/flowmasterscut.avi By the way, the new choke is working great. I just have to tweak the rod just a tiny bit to make it sli...

I'M ALL CHOKED UP!! While waiting for my radius arm bushings to show up, I thought I'd take a crack at a new choke. I had previously bought the Edelbrock choke spring assembly from a local speed shop. It is intended for a small block Chevy. I hope the Chevy police don't get me for putting it on a b...

Finally, no more nagging oil leaks! The final one turned out to be the oil drain plug itself. It was difficult to discover because the bottom of the pan is concealed by a frame member. I had to crawl under and look from just the right angle. It took just about an eighth of a turn and now all is dry....

I had my exhaust system installed today. I got 2 1/2 inch pipes and FlowMaster series 50's. In addition, I had two O2 sensor bungs installed. Bruno and I are going to the junkyard on Monday. I plan to pull a couple of O2 sensors and take them home with me. I'm looking forward to hooking them up and ...

Took 'Ol Blue to the Wheels4Hope garage today. It's about a 40 mile round trip. She's still doing well. Yesterday I filled her up with mid-grade gas and noticed today that I'm still cackling like crazy on a hard low speed pull. When I got home, I found some octane booster and dumped it in the tank. ...

She's back on the road! I put on the hood today. I should have taken some pictures. Randi helped me 'cuz no neighbors were available. I hooked the hood to the engine crane from the front. When all the way up, the rear of the hood just cleared the radiator. Randi and I worked it into place and it set...

From a practical point of view, does it make any sense to put sensors in both sides and change jets accordingly? I'm not sure how far to take this thing. Maybe just verifying the gross jetting on one side is as good as it gets. I dunno. Also, do you suppose there is any benefit to one-wire sensor ve...
