Life happens. We are having the basement finished at our new house, I am doing all the tile work. 1100 sq. ft. of floor tile going in, plus a bathroom, and shower. Don't want to hold up the finish carpenter so the cars are on hold until I get this tile work done. I am working on the tile everyday.

Sometimes it’s good to get away from the cars for a little while, work, work, work
Well, updates

Had some Fitech gremlins, probably my fault.....but after this morning all Gremlins are gone, she is running very nicely! Fans kick on as they should (being controlled by Fitech). Brock gave me a hand this morning as I was bench testing the fans unit. Thanks Brock. Higgs stopped over to chat it up a bit. Good Day for the Green Duster!

Today was a monumental day. Engine back together after oiling issues, lifter bores bushed, reassembly, back in the car. Maiden voyage from the HaloLifts shop over to Higgs place. Slight adjustment to the IAC steps and she's running nicely. Pics from today. Special thanks the Higgs, Brock, Dave for any and all the help, as this build went down. 4 years and one month.

My IACs go up to 16 when the fan is running. Just saying.

My IAC's are at 6. Yes they slightly increase when the fans kick on.

Making a change. The Fitech TBI, keeps dying. Sick of this. It starts, it runs and then for no reason it shuts off as if the key was turned off. IAC's are right, runs great when it's running. Some sort of RPM noise interference. Lots and lots of people are having the same problems. This guy on Fabo also describes the same issue: Fitech EFI Rpm Noise Solved
Anyways ditching the Fitech TBI unit. Going to Edelbrock's Pro-Flo 4 EFI System seen here: Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 EFI Systems 35900
It has shipped and will be here tomorrow. I have already removed the Fitech unit, I will start the Pro-Flo install as soon as it gets here.
