Does your exhaust show any blue under engine breaking? Sorry I forgot to address your question. Honestly, I only took the car down the road once because it needs an alignment and the brake rotors still had paint overspray on them (bad braking ability). From what I remember, it seemed to have good engine braking... normal, I'd say, based on the memories of driving the car before all this BS. As far as the "blue exhaust".... I don't know. Don at FBO told me today that I can't run an evac systen on a street car due to the mufflers and back pressure that would cause the nasty gases to feed back into the motor/oil and it would just ruin the oil prematurely. I already had an order with Mancini because the tech there told me it would fix my problem. Don gave me some tips and will be working with me to address my problems if the leak down test shows no problems. I'll let you guys know. BTW here's the car that is giving me hell. 7424176-DSC_0003copy.jpg (19 downloads)

Hey, All I'm sayin' is turn on the camera, never know what you'll see on You Tube... "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."

So after I made my last post (insomniac), I went out & swapped the bad one out. I cranked the car - had the hood open - and watched/ heard/ felt a big explosion. My timing is way off. The backfire bulged both mufflers & actually dropped one off the head pipes! Well, there goes a couple hundred bucks for new high flow AAR-T/A mufflers. I hope that's all it hurt. I'm going to set the timing from scratch again. I never had it dialed in before because of other lingering issues (tach hook up, throttle cable bracket//spring problems and a very leaky power steering pump). But the timing was pretty close... or so I thought. I have parts on the way and the tach & pump issues are fixed. Hopefully this is just a timing related/ ignition system issue.... Or a bad dream..... Builder is coming over in a few days. I won't crank it again until I have some supervision. I'm learning though, so that is at least good, right?

Unfortunately, learning can be expensive and aggravating as you know. Sorry for your troubles, definitely a nightmare, but you're in good company. Many of us have been through it before...more times than I can remember... ..you'll get it figured out though
