Hello again. Just crawled out from under this beast. For the past few days I've been throwing things back together. Got the 2.8 heads back Wednesday, set them Thursday morning. Got all the other stuff on yesterday and last night. Figured out the vaccum hose madness this morning. Test drive went well cept for some minor bugs to work out. One question I had for the 3.4 wizards in the bunch; When setting the timing, using the marks from the 2.8, I had to set in on 8-9 deg. Attempting to set in on 0 only killed the engine. I am using the 2.8 timing scale and damper/balancer. Would the timing marks on the 3.4 damper/balancer differ from those on the 2.8? Do you guys set it to feel or is there a number you settle with? It surges just a little, but runs bloody good when taching at 2500 - 3000. I feel that the surge does get better once warmed up. I am still using my 2.8 TBI and have not bored the intake. Also, I do have a 4.3 TBI to use, but it was spraying waaay too much petro so I swapped the 2.8 TBI back on. As soon as I find the source of a minor oil leak and can set the timing set correctly, I can call my baby roadworthy again. Later I'll start working on trailworthy. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Thanks,
