It probably is a different person....
5.00 a gal gas, hell yeah. Good time to buy. Buy the time we get an American President again I'll be ready!
I'm gonna keep doing the gearhead stuff. Just won't be spending as much on other things. Giving up on hookers and coke.
That's what I have been doing.
I got a truck with 8.1 (L18)
I got a suburban with the 454 (L29)
I am working on a deal for an engine and harness 454 (L29)
I can afford them now because no one wants them
It's crazy how they don't have the street cred they deserve even right out of the box from gm. 5 bucks a gallon isn't a big deal when there isn't a loan on the truck. So smoke em!
That's what I figure. I buy parts and gas instead of making a payment to the bank.
Speaking of an L29, where are the injectors?
Do the cap and rotor too

The stock dist is plastic, and pretty hard to get to in both a 400 series and a square.
Knowing what I know now I would replace with an aftermarket alum while the engine is out.
I just did injectors and harness and full distributor and coil. It's not bad. Biggest issue I had was I got an engine light for the timing and had to watch timing with the scan tool and the dang distributor hit the intake before it was down as low as the internet said the timing should be but it got the light to turn off though.
I wonder if the distributor I have now will work? I'm leaning towards keeping the factory EFI but controlling it with a Holley setup. Then I'd put the sniper on something else; maybe sell it with the Mark IV engine.
Are you in the correct thread?
Someone mentioned L29 injectors then replacing a distributor was talked about, I did all of that recently. I was simply stating I didn't know the timing had to be done with a scan tool and not a timing light.
I didn't know you have one.
Work truck, I live vicariously through the fleet in my care.
Looks like it's pretty easy to do coil near plug on the L29 using L21 parts.
