i got the TPS set to .95. havent messed with the timing yet because i ran into a big problem.

the gaskets that run to the cylinder heads worked out just fine. but the front and back manifold gaskets are total shit.

they are cork and not nearly fat enough to make a good seal. i have oil and gas dripping out the back of the manifold. the gas i think is #3 injector.

anyways, i need to tear it apart AGAIN and redo the damn gaskets this time with a whole shitload of black RTV. i didnt do it in the corners enough. fucking pissed off right now.

i got the car started before i noticed the gas and oil slick under the car. the intake sounds mean as hell with all the new air its getting, one good thing that came about as of today.

got the idle set really well, but now that is probably off cuz of the obvious vacuum leak from the intake.

calling it quits for today.
