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!!

My wife wanted to throw it out. I thought how nice it would be rather than laying/kneeling on the floor. And it really ties the room together!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
UPDATE: Soooo, I took the burb to the local dyno yesterday to work on tuning the few issues I had out. After about 5 pulls on the dyno, he felt like he had solved the problem. He got the burb off the rack and we took it our for a ride. As soon a we got out on the county road, the motor lunched itself and destroyed the #7 piston, scattering the remains all through the motor. Brand new motor, complete garbage.... Im currently in touch with the motor builder to see what he wants to do. I feel that it could have been sub par pistons installed, but we will see.
Im pulling the motor this weekend. More info to come....

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.
