well I finally got her together this weekend. I want ahead and put new everything, starter alternator battery cables the works. Being that she had not had power in a while after hooking the battery i turned the key on ( man hearing that annoying ding **** was wonderful ) and let it sit for ten seconds. I did this twice. Pulled the fuel pump fuse so i could cycle the engine a few times put the fuse back in turned the key the pump sang a tune and she fired on the second spin. Oh man did she fire, straight to 1200 rpms and would not come down. Oil pressure good volts water temp all good. Shut her down. Got a cup of coffee and staring at the engine, just thinking what would make her idol so high. Did some searching and then boom I found it. I removed the pcv tubes and crap and replaced them with filters on the rear of the block but being that i went from my stock intake manifold to a HO one I had forgot about the how the pcv intake on the back of the manifold next to the fire wall. popped a rubber cap on her and to 600 rpms at idol she went. That thing sounds good with the headers, magna flow cats and a super 44 flow master with two turn downs. The Ho cams give it an old school loping sound. No codes, no engine light nothing.
NOW !! for the bummer, I have an oil leak somewhere. its coming out of the the hole in the very bottom of the bell housing. I replaced the main when i had it pulled. I did change the manual tranny fluid too. drained it from the bottom and filled it through the top of the gear box ( had shifter out ). It was getting dark so i will check again today. Any ideas where it could be coming from? used royal purple in both the engine and tranny so its all purple colored and that makes it kind of difficult.
will post pics tomorrow.
