Only a couple minor updates, I got a spring and weight kit for the MSD and a calibration kit for the edelbrock carb. Played with the springs a bit, I now have all in timing around 2400 RPM which really woke it up - still need to adjust the stops to get a bit more timing but pretty happy with quick spring swap.
Took it out on the trails, friend of mine is right, lockers front and rear almost make trails too easy... Only bad thing is the wife wasn't too happy - a few burps of the throttle made a couple of the trails too much for her Rubicon
Sorry no pics - I'll try and get a video up soon

So I put a light set of springs in the dizzy recently, first time at highway speed you would have thought I still had the 6.2 diesel in it... So after pulling off and finding a local tractor supply to get a cheap toolset (of course I took my small toolset out before taking off) I pulled the cap and put a different set of springs on it in the parking lot. All is better - no more ping and was able to give it the advance it wanted.
Another great day cruising in the k5 - wrenching on the side of the road is just part of the adventure!

No updates to the Blazer, I've just been driving and enjoying it. Could use some advice or pics of how other blazer's haul their kayaks!
My boys enjoy going for rides - "make it loud dad!"
I put it on the roof
Where do you tie down to? Thanks
I had eyelets screwed in the top.
If you want a nice top, you can sandwich a plate between the top and the bedside and hook to it.
There are also rubber wedges to put under the kayaks to keep them from wobbling
Because hood scoops add at least 100 hp... right?
Where did you score those the brake shoes and spring kit? I have an 8lug as well and was thinking to freshen it all up.
