SNOW WHITE HAS AWAKENED FROM HER DEEP SLEEP!.

I've been working non stop, just going slow, there's just a lot to do. I got it all pretty much together, and then Ron and Chuck came over and helped me with starting and burping the coolant system.

Took a while to get the thermostat to open.

She runs like when I got her, Chuck mentioned it sounded like it had a miss.

Roger did tell me the idle was misleading because of the injection, and the secret sauce program his buddy had given him for the Haltech box.

The idle is pretty smooth, no lope, decieving because when you hit the go pedal, it rocks it Hard!

I did find the #1 plug to be blacker and dirtier than the others, so maybe I have a low hole, I don't know.

I bought a timing light, I'll use both the light, and "the force", to time the car, and then start looking into the tune, and why my front 4 plugs are blackish, and the rear 4 plugs are golden brown.
My tuner might be able to dial something in or out if it's not mechanical.

In any case, Snow White finally ran again! With new oil, and no shit in the pan, hopefully now it is the engine I thought I bought.

I hope to have the rest of the car buttoned up, and be driving tomorrow hopefully.
