Fnished a big project last night...

[DetroitIron]

Just wanted to thank this site and the folks on it for all the help. I just replaced head gaskets on my 89 C1500 350 TBI...never did this level of engine work/tear down before Took my time and followed what I had learned on this site...got the last stuff back on (dang those iron heads are heavy) and felt a bit nervous about timing and making sure I got the distributor back in correctly/tdc, etc...Then about 9PM last night after double checking a few things..added oil and coolant.....the moment of truth as I turned the key for the first time in 45 days....she started and stumbled to life.....fingers crossed I moved the distributer to smooth it out as it came up to temp...watching and hoping for no leaks....set the timing with my Dad's 30 year old Montgomery Wards cheapo timing light. Success! I'm going to have a few cold ones tonight. Thanks for a great site and the people on it.
