Really good to see you still at it.
The small refinements all add to your enjoyment in the end.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Burb is looking good! Here's an idea with your misfire code. I had that same code pop up on my Camaro and it ended up being hairline cracks in the porcelain of the spark plugs. I had recently installed headers on my car and did it without taking the plugs out and had, unknowingly, damaged a couple of them. I took them back out and inspected them and noticed the little cracks. It's worth a shot if you haven't checked them yet.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
That was one of the items I replaced when this issue presented itself. I have new plugs, and wires. It could be a faulty coil pack or maybe a fuel pump. I just don't want to keep chucking $100 bills at this, hoping to solve my issue.
I'm very confident some run time on a dyno will give me the info I need to move forward. Thanks for the advice!!

Good to see you are getting a new heart in the old girl. Really like this project and admire the metal work and thought that has gone in it.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
The motor is in. Everthing is hooked up. I thought it might be prudent to have my tuning guy take one last look at my tune before lighting this off. The motor failed just after a tuning session so i want to be 100% sure the failure wasnt tune related. I would hate to go through all of this and have the same thing happen again.
Hopefully, ill be up and running by mid week!
