I'm still here!
Since my last post in here, I worked for 3 months solid in TX, so fun time was very limited. I was off for 2 weeks during the holidays, so I gave it my best shot, but I think the Blazer was mad at me. It fought me at every turn. I did buy the Blazer a Christmas present, so maybe it will be nicer to me in the future. It got a Holley Sniper setup so that I can get rid of the Quadrajet. I've never been good with carburetors, but I am a whiz with computers, so maybe I'll be able to unlock the full potential of my new engine.
I also finally upgraded from the rocker switch to the touchpad on the Accuair, and my cool ashtray mount for the touchpad should be delivered this week from CTP!
I thought I had the complete air system done with the Accuair and all before I came back to work. When I went to calibrate the system, one of my shock mounts bent while it was testing the upper limits of travel and allowed one of the sensors to over-rotate and it broke. My Accuair system was purchased in 2010 or '11 so it uses the old style sensors that they don't sell anymore. I remembered that they said they used OEM style sensors back then, so after an intense googling session, I "believe" that they used the same sensors that are on the 2003-06 Lincoln Navigators, so I ordered one on ebay, but I have yet to have a chance to try it out.
This past weekend, I was going to try the new sensor, but an opportunity to buy a friend's old vehicle popped up and I became the new owner of a 1985 S-10 Blazer! I've wanted one since high school. So, I hitched up a buddy's trailer behind the trusty Duramax and went for a nice long drive to get it. Unfortunately, I didn't get any shop time with Ratchet's Blazer.
Oh yeah, I just registered to do the Long Haul for the Hot Rod Power Tour again this year, so I have now put another deadline on myself to have the suspension, new wheels and tires, big brakes, A/C, EFI, and finally a radio all installed. Wish me luck!
