He got it from Northwest Auto Fab, their products page doesn't work on the website though. I called a couple of weeks ago and he does still have some in stock and will take your payment and address over the phone. Mine are patiently waiting to go in.

Quick update guys. I've been chasing a fuel trim problem for 2 or 3 weeks now. I was getting a misfires and a lean fuel trim on the right side only. I had checked injectors, coil packs and O2 sensors. I did a compression check, all cylinders 220 psi +/- 5. Did a smoke check, could not find any vacuum leaks. I even traced the injector/coil pack wires but couldn't find and visual problems. Stonewalled. I was totally scratching my head.... I had set up an appt to get the exhaust put back on yesterday hoping I would have everything figured out. I almost cancelled it since the truck would hardly run, but since I had taken the day off, I went ahead and called a rollback and had it hauled to the exhaust shop. I had planned on putting on some new Magnaflows that I had laying around, but they wouldn't fit, :(. I had wanted to switch the Magnaflows because I had read that they sound better with the LS motors, oh well....And with the new crossmember I built for the 6L80 tranny, my electric cutouts weren't working out so well either, :(. So I just told the exhaust guy to reconnect the Flowmasters that were on there (50 series) and at least I could do some tuning without getting fumigated. OK, so we get everything hooked up and I start the truck up just to see how it sounds....and to my surprise, I like it! And to my even bigger suprise, I hook the HPTuners scanner up and all the issues I was having with misfires and crazy Fuel Trims were gone!!!! Other than running a little rich, the idle is good and it's not throwing any codes. So the Moral of the story is, NEVER do any tuning on a FI motor unless you have the exhaust on and don't believe everything you read on the internet, :D . I'm eating some serious humble pie, I would never have thought that not having the exhaust on would have created the "symptoms" that I was seeing going on with my motor. Go figure. I did learn a lot through this experience, and will be a better "tuner" because of it. Now I have to undue some things I did when I was chasing a problem that wasn't there, :lol: . |
Re: 68 S/C update.....
Do you think it just needed that tiny amount of back pressure?

Kind of factory...kind of custom...lol, I cut some parts off and stuck a cone filter on the end of it. I will be gettin it dyno tuned some time after the new year to squeez all available hp and torque out of it. But she still runs good....i think!
