I took the car after the last tnt to drive around the neighborhood and get some heat in it.
Blow by was baaaaaad, it was running rough.
I guess it leaned out a bit too much on the last run I aborted.
The new MLS gaskets that were available are going to pump the compression back to the 12.3 mark. But the quench will be closer.
New fuel pump is in with a -12 feed. So hopefully it keeps up. I think I'll start with a pretty conservative timing map.
I had Reused the cometic gaskets last time I had it apart since they were a solid 6months out and that still hasn't changed. Makes me wonder how long the head gaskets were damaged. I had noticed the blow by but the plugs were still clean and it seemed to run well. Maybe they were the cause the odd high rpm stutter/stumble? Not sure. All I can do is get it back together and ready for grudge night.
Gotta love hot rodding.
