Worked on crating up my LT1 motor from my firebird, got everything built, bagged, and sprayed with oil. Now I gotta get some desiccant packs and I can seal the crate up. Also worked on sorting through parts I’m gonna use during the resurrection vs put into long term storage. Lots going into the storage pile. All I can say is it feels damn good to be wrenching on her after sitting for almost 7 years, building a project is soooooo much more enjoyable then doing maintenance and repairs on DDs. ---

I tore apart the intake manifold today, I only removed the top half, but upon removing it, I noticed that I had quite the cleaning to do. It was caked with carbon build up everywhere. So I bought three cans of carburetor cleaner and went to town. 2 hours later, I have a nice and squeaky clean upper manifold and a considerably squeaky clean lower manifold. I also polished the inner throttle body. Put it all back together, cranked the car over for a good 3-4 minutes, finally got it started and holy crap! What a difference. The variable idle is gone, it has much less hesitation at low RPMs and doesn’t smell like it’s running rich anymore. I just need to replace the radiator now and this 99 is going to be running like it was back in 1999…lol. ---
