Thanks again Scotty! i don't have a cone filter on it yet, just got big red on monday. I'll take a couple of ziplocks for the Alt just to be safe, and def going to be picking up some de-greaser/cleaner. Going to change the spark plugs as well for some nice colder ones ASAP. just need to get a feel of what all needs to be replaced as far as lines and gaskets. Might just pick up a full kit off of ZZP since it won't hurt to replace the gaskets on the LIM, valve cover, SC, exhaust mans, coolant elbow, and whatever else i can do. The 3.5" tension pully sheared off at some point before i got the car so i need to pick up a SC belt and a new pully. Trying to avoid running it as much as possible until I can get that SC up and going again. Then i need to figure out what that nasty CV sounding popping is and where its coming from.
