After a couple months of fix its, replace this, install that... my car is ready for pick up! I’ll drive my Ram over to FTK, leave it for some badly needed suspension work, and drive my Snake home! Who-hoo! The list of what was done is long so I’ll enumerate later after I get the final sheet, but I’m just so excited and can’t wait to drive it and bond with it!

I want to thank everyone on this forum who fielded my MANY threads and questions. And especially whomever it was that recommended Full Throttle Kustomz in Fillmore, CA. MAN, WHAT AN AWESOME GROUP OF HIGHLY SKILLED AND CARING TECHNICIANS!!

More tomorrow... stand by!

enumerate later?! Enumerate now you know we don't like to wait...

 

[Daryl]

I hear ya. I’m the same way
It’s just tooooo much to recall accurately, but I will reveal that that old BD-10 supercharger is history. Just going CAI. The heat that thing was generating was actually robbing power. So, c-ya antiquated SC

 

[Daryl]

Oh hell its lengthy, but here it goes:

Drop K member, install new oil pan gasket. Oil and filter change.

replace IAC solenoid. Reinstall distributor cap, set firing order. Clean throttle body.

R&R plugs, set gap

R&R supercharger. Found smog pump hose missing and vacuum reference disconnected.

Install new alternator and extend longer wire fir new clocking. Install larger power wire. Install all new Serpentine belts and tension accordingly.

Install 3.5” idler pulley. Remove manifold. Replace Accel injectors with Bosch 42lb injectors and new manifold gasket.

cut silicone tubing and install coupler for new CAI. Spray fir vacuum leaks.

Replace 90 degree section of Hester hose.

Install 4 Magnaflow CA compliant catalytic converters and tubing adapters.

Install EGR valve, EGR valve position sensor and EGR tube.

SCT chip. Custom tuning adjustments.

Compression tests conducted. Consistent at 120-130. Supercharger removed.

OE MAF

Install new rotors and pads and service calipers. Replace LCA bushings and new ball joints.

Adjust newly installed headlights and fog lights.

And that’s it!! I also got to a new cowl panel to replace my tired, dull looking one and new squirters.

Ahhhhhhh! Hooray! It’s home and I got to drive it most of this afternoon. Gettin’ used to the short throw shifter, but..I’m in love

The Eibach Pro suspension kit is exactly what I was looking for. Handling, cornering and ride quality are bang on, for me. Engine runs fine, minus its minor compression loss, but still humps pretty good Everything works as it should, I’m CA legal should they decide to smog me and the CAI, tune, oil pressure sending unit, oil, coolant... everything is spot on, as the Brits would say!!

I dunno, I’m just giddy right now and rambling like a Chatty Cathy. Sorry!

Can you post some pictures of the engine and suspension?

 

[Daryl]

Here’s the engine without the supercharger

 

[Daryl]

My suspension pics I deleted. Will try for better pics to post soon...

 

[Daryl]

Hope these suspension pics help. I just kind of shoved the iPhone under there and hit different angles. I didn’t jack up the car or drive the front end onto my ramps. So, let me know if these help or if there are particular shots you’re looking for.
First 3 are rear; last 4 are front.

Couple more pics I was able to take while cleaning ABS sensors yesterday: (F/R)
