    What new tools have you got lately?

    Well nothing cool. I spent 3 hours going to two different napa's and two trips to autozone yesterday to get everything I need to finish assembling a wheel today. Scored spindle nut socket for $11 on closeout table though.

    14 bolt FF missing parts?!

    Is this right? Am I missing a spindle flat washer, 2nd spindle nut; lock washer? Would seem dangerous! Going through y'alls threads on assembly. Pics show how it was, one spindle nut, key, and clip...feedback?!

    I also love those huge deck rear bumpers. Make a great seat when you just need to sit a spell.

    Great read. Could OP need to double check push rod length? If cam timing is off, would more than one piston show valve kiss or rods bent?

    It's also worth noting, that anything you post is searchable via the net. I've done searches for topics and specific things to see it bring me here as an option, and including my own posts. Not certain if relevant.

    Engine start-up, Lean code 44

    Did final break-in. Truck ran great. Will drain and fix some leaks (see Betty Blue build page). Aluminum coolant fittings and oil coolant hose. Arugh Idled in park at 740ish. Forgot to ck in gear. We'll mess with cking base timing and exhaust lean code after a little leak fixing.

    My 86 454 Conversion to Propane / Gasoline dual-fuel

    Doesn't propane burn very hot? Just curious if it effects engine temp and cooling needs.

    Oldsmobile 88

    This one is forsale if your adventurous. I imagine if it has orig engine parts are hard to find. Well, probably all parts. I've seen quite a few restored on the net though.

    Crap your CAT is in the way of the front bracket. Mine is not. I be no help. You can try. If no open gas neck etc I use met gas torch on nuts after PB. May break or have to cut. Someone will chime in after morning coffee I bet.

    Awesome, gut was telling me that. Ran twice so, 20 minutes total. Definitely getting hot. Will do last one today. Drain refill. Set idle timing tomorrow after warm up. Stock is -4, and think edelbrock says -3 for cam.

    Only current thing I use for codes are the service light. So NO. I did get a USB to obd1 from obd diagnostics. This should allow me to run like rt tuner pro and get real-time info once I purchase and download. This will also (in my mind) help me determine if I want to goto upgrading the ecm...
