return of the fat kid (pic heavy)

I just want to say I'm sorry, I hardly ever comment on ssm anymore, but I had to give you some sort of words of encouragement. I still remember your s-10 when you had it. I don't know what else to say I can't believe that you have had so much bad luck with these burbans. I just hope you can get this one in some sort of shape for you to enjoy it. Good luck.

thanks, man. it means a lot, it really does.

last weekend, the burb moved for the first time in over a year under it's own power. Here's proof :D









sorry for the shitty camera phone video, but i had no idea we would get it running!!!!!

and i would have updated yall last weekend, but for some reason my puter wouldn't let me post on ssm!! hahahahaha

so what was the deal? why was it running so bad?

don't know. some of the vaccum lines have been disconnected, no idea what they're for, maybe that's it. It's so loud because whoever put the exhaust on didn't weld in the bottom of the H pipe.

Ok, Jack called Uncle on getting the burb to run. He's a stupid ford guy, he said if it was a 4.6 or 302 it would have been purring 3 weeks ago. Luckily, my father in law has experience with the tbi 350, so he's going up there tomorrow to hopefully get it running. Then we'll try to unfuck everything else. But if it's not running, it's a paperweight. A huge pain in the ass $20k paperweight, but a paperweight nonetheless. haha

screw the tbi swap to carb and get it runing

Check the knock sensor

i don't have the time or money (anymore) to get the carb, intake, regulator, etc. to carb it. It's been narrowed down to iac valve, ecm, icm, map sensor, or throttle position sensor.
