After putting down a 16:1 A/F ratio on the dyno, and burning a little coolant, I confirmed my intake gasket was leaking... So I through on a new gasket and painted the manifold. _________________ '88 FORMULA

Glad to hear it was an easy fix. Painted the manifold? Just looks like you and cleaned it up real good. Nice work man. Not to be nit-picky, but that's a pretty hard kink that PCV line has. Of course mine is piggybacked on my brake booster hose _________________

Chris doesn't know what original is. I'll bet he doesn't have a single stock part left under the hood. Laughing

Hmm this makes me wonder... If you could build the ultimate third gen, using only third gen parts, what would it be?

It was just packaged as a pontiac. It was a Corvette ZF-6 transmission, a Chevy 350, a Dana-44 rear-end, and SLP speed parts. Not much of it was actualy a pontiac. That is why need to put all that stuff in a Camaro.

It is definetly running better. It pulls harder jumping on the freeway, and leaves a better screetch from a stop...
Wish I could run it on the dyno now! lol
