You're a fast worker - hope it runs good. dnult Jan 1st, 03, 10:00 AM So do you think that end-play was the problem? -dnult Turbo_Jet Jan 1st, 03, 10:04 AM Great to hear! Good Luck! Hope you come back with a big Smile... http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif RickD Jan 1st, 03, 10:15 AM Great news! Perseverance pays off! ------------------ Rick Dorion 69 RS Conv,355,Autogear M22,4.10's and I don't worry about stone chips ( yet ). nitrous383 Jan 1st, 03, 11:00 AM Had to have been the end play, thats the only thing that was overlooked last time, and the time before. It really sounds healthy, Im happy with those cheap raptor mufflers. We are having a little carb problem now but no big deal, it sat for quite a while and got turned upside down. CamaroNOTcamero Jan 1st, 03, 12:50 PM Glad to hear it!! Good luck with the carb tuning. nitrous383 Jan 3rd, 03, 05:25 PM I just wanted to give you guys a little update, everythings going great. The engine is running excellent, we got another carb for it. My dads friend gave us a holley for free, yes FREE. Its a 3310-2, it has #72 jets and a purple secondary spring, plus someone put a 50cc accelerator pump on it. It works awesome, and now I have two holleys. Ive driven it about 10 miles so far, set off two car alarms, and ran out of gas in the mall parking lot LOL. All the time and money has paid off, but I also have thank god for this car. Thanks for all the help fellas, this has been crazy, now if I can just get it too have traction... blackvi Jan 3rd, 03, 05:38 PM nitrous383, Man Im so happy for you that I could just kiss somebody!!! Eric68? dnult? Turbo_Jet? RickD? CamaroNOTcamero? Oh well!!! No takers! http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif The best thing is that You just didnt give up!
