Hey Alex, good to see you're still around here. BTW, the TBI setup will find a new home in a 68 chevy.

Re: 86 Silverado Father and Son project

That's an EGR port, right? I would just make a plate to seal it off. But then again it is my thinking process.

Yeah I guess that would have worked well too.

I painted them with some VHT high temp...



and put them on.

Re: 86 Silverado Father and Son project

Well it's been a good long while since I've posted, August 8th to be exact. Once the college semester got started I just never found any time to work on it. Well now it's winter break and I've got 30 days of glory.

Today I started on changing the rear main seal and outer gasket. It has been leaking oil. Got into and it appears to be the outer metal gasket that was leaking, not the rear main.



Removing the bolts attaching the flywheel to the torque converter.



I'll finish this in the morning.
