Project: "Rigor Mortis"

No I don't think so, he has to roll over a lot before he catches.

Might just be the computer learning the new settings.

I am assuming the fuel pressure is where it is supposed to be. Does he kick right away with starting fluid?

[Pookapotamus]

Haven't tried, intake is still oily from the backflush when it blew the piston, it should clear up.

Try stepping on the throttle and let it go. It may not know the TPS is at idle position. Mine does that

Family picnic, tomorrow, I'll try when I get back in the garage Monday night!

Always things getting in the way of important stuff

Going to be rebuilding an AX15 tomorrow. Lifting another Jeep too. Shop is going to be crowded

Glad to hear it's coming back together well, Pook!

Mort is starting and running fine, should have the front end back on him tomorrow and be able to take him to work Wednesday!!!! If I'm not too lazy that is!

Nothing like a little midnight oil for the shop lamp eh Dana?

I have heard it called an obsession. Can't be

My god! I need a lighter bumper!!


Alright! Time for the butt dyno! Not a huge noticeable difference, but much smoother accelerating, actually able to do a small burn out, so yes better torque!

Also better in the top end, no rattling and still lots of power at high rpm.

Sounds much better, and the exhaust is much snappier!

I think I will see a difference in gas mileage, have to wait and see. Driving him to work tomorrow!!!

Glad it is working out. My bumper weighs 65#

[Pookapotamus]

grrr!!! drove to work today and halfway there notice a big cloud of oil behind me! bubbling a bit of oil out of the dipstick tube still! I'm wondering if the end of the tube is below the oil line and a little bit of pressure is forcing it up the tube?? the dipstick itself does not fit on the top too good either. I think I will have to put a larger vacuum line to the breather as well.

What is up with this Dana?
