knkayotte Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 SHE'S ALIVE!Got her started today, purrs like a kitten. Engine is quieter then my LS1 motor!Had to redo some wiring around the solenoid, accessories came back online after the rewire. Found out they rigged a push start starter. Mufflers are waaaaaay to quiet. Have to change those out.Man, I?m psyched.

knkayotte Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Nice job.....Another baby on the road..... Not yet, once I got it started the Brake Pedal went right to the floor. I'm not seeing any leaks. Guessing it the booster. I'll bleed the brakes real quick to make sure their is no air in the system. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSeery Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 No brakes -- you could cruise with Dan C. and Chris. and as far as the mufflers are concerned -- ditch them. There is no need for that crap. A nice dual exhaust system straight out the back or a pair of sidepipes is all ya need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
