THE WHITE SHARK IS ALIVE!!!

2 goddamn months of trying to figure out what in the hell is wrong with it, working on it most days just tweaking minor shit... and all of a sudden, today it decides to start up!

after spraying out all the valve covers, fuel rail, and down into the pistons with compressed air, cleaning up and tightening everything.. etc etc etc.... i was getting to the point where i was about to yank off the intake manifold and get in there to clean and check for any broken wires i thought that rat in my engine had to have chewed up some of the wires

then i swapped to some champion plugs, which helped even more... btw toby these things are already pre-gapped. haha, how stupid is that... when i checked my NGKs when i got them they needed to be gapped, and those cost what, $90? christ i forget.... anyways the champion plugs were all set at .31

... it RUNS NOW... yes it even turned over on its own power. i am running kinda lean at idle, and i only changed 4 of 6 spark plugs today.. oil needs to be changed to.. blah blah

my mommy took me out for a drive today the car feels great. just needs some tuning

heres a video of living proof the shark is living again! as you can see my ECU is so outta whack it isnt even funny, not to mention the timing is just slightly off

This is the first time its moved under its own power in a LONG time

VIDEO - 6.5mb (click save as..) -
