Looks good! Ready to hear a video of this thing ripping down the street.

Unrelated but still cool, meteor burned up over Michigan. Shook the whole house.

I still need to install my wideband to make sure my afrs are good and that my fuel pump is up to the task. If not, I have a e-85 composition sensor and a walbro 450 e-85 pump waiting to go in. I was just going to install the pump last week, but a fuel tank strap bolt is rusted stuck, so it will need to be cut; but with these cold temps, I may just have buy some kerosene for the space heater and lift the truck back up... She's currently sitting on jack stands awaiting my attention.

Thanks man. It's been a long time coming. Mainly me being indecisive on what direct I wanted to take and also, to many other projects going on. As you you can tell. I'm ahead of all this stuff, so I had to at least update my build bthread for those who care lol.

Small fire in my alternator and this was the culprit. Somehow the hydroboost high pressure line had a puncture in it and was spraying fluid in the alternator (when ever I touched the brakes,) directly inside of it. FML lol so she had to be torn down again.

Hard to tell from the pictures how much damage was done. What all do you have to tear down?

Unbolt high pressure hose from hydroboost up top, unbolt alternator, remove water pump bolts and remove idlers belt and spacers, so I could remove accessories bracket to get to the other end of the hose, to unbolt from the PS pump.

So instead of just putting "update" , Im just gonna continue on. Ignore the space heater on the garage floor and the mess, this was from earlier this year. Anyways, After replacing that split hose, It was time to bolt everything back together and grab some datalogs of it running at idle. She was purring ever so slightly lol

Going over some logs you can clearly see she was running lean, so some tuning had to be taken care of. I wasn't trying to load the engine too much with the risk of detonation. I also had a vacuum leak, so I was verifying where the leak was coming from, seeing as how my truck doesn't have any vacuum lines.

I also have to find some bulbs to replace the ones that are out on my cluster.

Same video, just broke it up because it was last long, but you can hear the exhaust on this one.
