            I may not make it.... as it is I have a trial a week later, if I don't have everything prepared.... I can't go. Oh and I've got a new paralegal to train... it's not looking good.

              • tuned on the Holley Sniper EFI tonight. IAC is sticking at 30%... exercised it, found the bolts weren't tight holding it on (ugh). it worked for a bit, but then started acting up again. It's a standard IAC so I'll replace it, might even have one in my EFI box. Also, TPS is adjustable (like manually).... be nice if they'd mentioned that... ah well, I am here

                • not sure on the sniper but on the HP there is a ramp down parameter that can make the IAC hang on decel

                    I could probably reprogram that - but it's not moving at all... even after exercising it, it worked for a minute but then froze again

                      • took it for a run, pulled a plug

                        a lot lean and a bit of detonation
                        added some fuel, re-tuned the IAC

                        it's better, may add a touch more cruising fuel

                        • continuing.... those block and redirect air towards the front rotors

                          move cars out of the shop

                          for a Ford... I know, right? who saw that coming?

                          some know, I have a loaner kid who is an amazing photographer at scale stuff.... time to get a couple things done and diagnose some issues

                          basically, it needs mufflers and the tank dropped to find a leak. I also helped Anthony install some new chrome badging

                          • That's a really clean 300! The only '57 Ford body I like is the 300 2 dr. sedan! Great looking cars!

                              it'll be great with an LS

                              and for the purists.... the Y block in the car was welded to fix a crack above the starter.... there is no saving that pig... it also needs mufflers (they have holes in them) and, in the proper BS way, we swap the motor/trans/suspension to fix that kind of problem
