oh i replaced allll those lines on the motor drop haha. and i don't have to replace the injector, it's just turned and situated in a way that i can't get the connector on it because the fuel line's in the way. so i have to pull the plenum, loosen the cap, and just twist it a bit. it's injector number 4... right where that fuel line runs down it's JUST in the way. SUCKS! but luckily i did the TB coolant bypass, so a plenum pull shouldn't be TOO bad.

this is going to get interesting. I will likely be running by then, but I doubt if I'll be final tuned. Still up in the air for me.
Also, Milzy still hasn't sent me my rear transmission mount yet. Something about the "kit" being designed off the standard 4t65e from a Bonneville and has a different rear bolt pattern than the HD model. No idea. Never compared them. So, I'm likely not going to be able to throw down any serious torque unless I get that resolved. Hopefully he has some good news soon because I cannot check my overall geometry, downpipe and wiring clearances without it installed. I'm leaving shortly for field training for a month, then returning for less than a month, then deploying to Iraq again (no surprise). But I'm not going to have time to make any runs or do anygood on tuning due to all the preparation for this deployment. If that occurs, I'm going to be PISSED. This shit has been on order since FEBRUARY 1st (what is that, nearly 5 months??) with the statement that it would take a couple of weeks.
Ben on the other hand has finished everything he had control over and I already have everything installed. Just have to finish bolting up the accessories.

What is different from the last time you raced it, can't you put it back the way it was, and get it good for some high 12's? I don't have a block of time off scheduled till the last week of September. But as of right now, I would estimate my car is running 13.1-13.3, it would take some cooler temps to get into the 12's.

what's different is that my existing rear mount is snapped off for the 3rd time, and there's really no way to reinforce it anymore.

Oh, I missed that chapter, or forgot about it. My front mount was worn out too (but not snapped), just changed that when the tranny went in.
Reminds me of having to chain the block to the frame, when I had my last '65 442. It was always breaking a mount.
