Car is getting exhaust done atm. Will have it back before end of week. Still plenty of work to be done. Plenty of wiring and cleaning up the engine bay.

On a side note, bought myself a service truck today. Its an 86 GMC High Sierra 2500 (3/4 ton). Has a full service body, engine driven air compressor, air tank in the service bed, and a GM Goodwrench crate 350 with less than 40,000 miles on it. Paid $400. :)

Working radio, good tread on fronts, dual tank, hitch, brake controller, etc. Gonna use it as my tow rig and tool box. Thats actually the main reason I bought it; I needed a bigger toolbox but didnt want to spend $$$ on a bigger one. This will be perfect for track days. If I break something, Ill be able to tow it home. Ill have all my tools handy and everything.

OK GUYS!!!! GOT NEW Distributor Rotor, Bosch Cap, and Bosch O2 sensor!! Hopefully the car is done tomorrow! I'll be pulling that MC2 cam this Saturday. If that fixes my low vacuum issues, then this thing will finally be streetable next week. I'm guessing the cam I'm running now just has way too much overlap. I have a feeling it would be a monster cam in a N/A application though. Here is where I 100% suspect that the cam is related to all my troubles, when I'm in 5th gear, at 50mph, the boost gauge is literally reading 0, and ANY light touch on the pedal shoots it into boost. 4th gear same speed reads about 10-12" and 3rd reads about 15-17". So time to go back to a factory cam

My new toy / toolbox. Has a goodwrench crate motor 350. I'm thinking intake, headers, good carb, cam, and wheelie bars.

Nice. I agree about the intake, carb, and headers because those will unchoke the motor(if the carb is tuned right) but the cam will just make your already not good fuel mileage drop even lower. I'm sure you know all about poor fuel mileage in trucks LOL.
