yay! Got my car back together! - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Got the IH's and plenum on, new injectors, and tossed in the new prom. Filled it up with coolant, and fired it up! It cranked long but then fired right up and idled great.

The slight pulsation at idle didn't go away, but it is really quite mild. I did try to balance a nickel but couldn't get it to stand up. Maybe I need to find a nickel with a less rounded off edge.

The only problems I had were that my MAP bracket got bent and one of the connectors under the plenum got chipped shipping it out. Then putting the car together, one of the PCV metal hoses had that bracket that gets bolted onto the plenum snap. It's still in place fine, but I ordered a new one.

I drove the car lightly up and down the street because it was misting out. It felt fine, but I can't wait for a nice day to open it up!

I replaced the PCV valve cover/top piece, and man does that make a difference. The old one would slide right off the valves with barely any effort. This one grips like mad and was actually pretty hard to install.
