    Did you hear the converter snout / crank maybe bind up and then turn loose and slide on in?

      So I accidentally started it last night lol

      It was still on stands, apparently my buddy never took the key out of the "ON" position, and the gear selector was in "1". We were gonna bleed the brakes and I was making the final under the hood connections and went ahead and put the negative cable in. That's when I heard "ERR ERR ERR ERR VARROOOOOOMMM!!! WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP!" no oil in the car, or coolant in the cooling system. Good thing I lubed everything in the engine prior lol

      Can drive it yet, found it now has coolant leaks from the heater hose fittings, so back to waiting on parts...

        It runs. It acted like it wanted to stall when I put it in reverse, I was gonna re position it but it started idling weird when I did that so I shut it off.

                  Huh?? Trans vent makes motor run bad...

                  Might be somewhere to look on the 'Burb I got... Dies in R or long stoplites...

                    Goes into gear without a hitch now. Un pinched the trans vent, and no gear change problems and the fluid isn't spewing out of the dipstick.

                      Knew it spews out the dipstick... When plugged at the vent... Thought it just goes slower and slower... (my case) learn something new daily...

                          Mehhh I think it's misfiring some where. I gave it about half throttle getting on the highway earlier and I heard a "PUT PUT PUT" at about 4K RPM. Gayyyyyyyy. Im thinking about ditching the MSD coils since I have six OEM's from the 2 L26's, and swap the ICM for one of the newer ones they both had.

                            Nice lol

                            Just got my exhaust redone its now modified to being similar to a TSP Rumbler set-up, it now has a Dynomax 2.5" Bullet. Clip sometime soon.

                            Also, swapped out my MSD Coils for the OEM's I have. Hopefully that solves the intermittent misfires, if not I'll try new wires next.

                            Until then check the new steez.

                              Wonderful, SES light on the way from class. Had two prior to exhaust. 1 being the cat o2 sensor since it wasn't connected and one was a bank 1 or 2 o2 sensor low voltage. Not sure which bank, but I just figured it was from the open headers since low voltage at a pre-cat is a lean condition. I'll have to stop by Advance tomorrow and scan it. Not what it is if it's that still with the exhuast back on. 1 it could be a now skewed sensor, or if its bank 2 it could be a false lean, sounds like there is a slight exhaust leak from bank 2 at the header gasket region, butI had exhuast leak at both lat time with no codes, so Im a little confused.

                                I dont know why people ditch the stock coils on late GM stuff. The stock ones are almost always better. MSD makes great stuff, but their coil on plug isnt better than the oem's, just prettier.
