That is going to make for a sweet Blazer! Lots of cool pieces in that unit!

[sweetk30]

Nice 4x4 Swap... Like Michigan Rust & Salt man. Redoing my 82 K10 diesel over here 152K miles and the bed, doors fenders all rusted out but I bought a $550 82 C20 parts truck I'm taking off the Fenders on it and Possibly the bed. But I'm going Completely Stock on mine.

looking like end of the week or weekend for install of new edelbrock pro flo 4 kit .

[sweetk30]

in the shop tonight ready for the swap over to begin .

[SBTork]

I think you'll be very happy with the Edelbrock product. How did your $1,600 polish job go?

[sweetk30]

setup wizard wont load a tune . and another guy has same exact problem . there looking in to it now .

but i got around it and loaded a tune . got it fired off and had a solid miss on a cylinder . checked every thing . . . .

then today here is the copy paste from the other post on my other site i hang at more .

long story short and tail between my leg's problem with skip was 6-8 wire swap some how in the wires that were labeled and clipped together and looked correct but were not at the engine end . my buddy showed up this morning before i got in the shop and looked it over again fresh eye point of view and found it .

so drum roll please ............................................. WOW is this kit so much better than the sniper from holley ever was . i have maybe 20 miles on it this morning and the truck fires off better / runs better / fells better / drives better / smells better / just hands down better system 200% so far .

stopped at a friends place on the test drive this morning and he even said this thing don't smell rich anymore like the sniper did at idle with 400-500 miles on it .

my buddy was riding with me and watching the tablet full data screen and he said its almost like looking at his big snap-on scanner for live data . said my short term fuel and long term fuel are great already and within 1-2 points of each other . got my iac down to 9-11% when warm and my 700 rpm idle target is about spot on all the time . even in gear stopped foot on the brake its smooth . coming to a stop its smooth unlike the sniper catching its self all the time . and my foot pedal pressure is 98% gone even with there TB spring and my big return spring its light as a feather . i even had to re adjust my gas pedal th400 kick down switch by removing a chunk of rubber hose as it was now limiting my throttle from the previous sniper setup with its 7/8" linkage spacer i made .

THE EDELBROCK PRO FLO 4 IS OUT OF THE BOX BETTER ! ! !

and if you get emi interferance you got problems . we just tossed my wiring under the hood laying all over stuff including plug wires and the computer is laying on the hvac box loose and it runs this good . unlike a holley with emi problems on a lot of there stuff .

Awesome, really glad it worked out! I am looking at this system for a non-Chevy bucket list project.

Pretty impressive what well thought out technology can do.

[RDrancher]

Good to hear the Pro Flow is working out.

How far is the axle moved forward on the Blazer?

[sweetk30]

edelbrock pro flo 4 is the ticket !

thanks for the support guys

and front axle is 1.5" forward with crossover steering so no problems there . and rear is now 1" back for a more centered look . also took out the #5 and #8 leaf from the 8 leaf 56" long spring packs and it dropped it just over 1" in the rear and much softer now .

[Rickysnickers]

Glad to see and hear this system worked out. My wife and I are going to the nostalgia drags in Bakersfield next month. The last time I was there, Edelbrock had a huge trailer and selling parts. I might look into buying this kit there. With any luck, they might have a show special on the pricing

[sweetk30]

already working and earning her keep on my parking lot size driveway .

29* this morning fire up no problems at all sitting out in the dead cold all night .

[sweetk30]

she has been doing real good . smoother running / starting / pedal push is almost not even there compared to sniper unit and my foot / ankle thanks me for it .

she is still learning and i have tweeked just 2-3 tiny things 1-2 points is all other than that rock solid .

and i got my new sticker today

[Bent77]

I haven't had much time to wander out much lately

sweetk30 and I blabbed a bit about these two injection systems. I also had a Sniper and pulled it off last fall and went with the PF4.


Very happy with the system. Also happy Sweets got his junk running again!

[sweetk30]

still purring great . wished i had done the edelbrock pro flo 4 first off .

good warm day for sticker install .

[Android04]

Good looking build and thank you for sharing your experience with Holley EFI

[sweetk30]

thanks . and no problem on the real world feedback . this is how we group of people stay informed and away from a product that don't work as advertised . or if the product is good we know its worth the buy .

the old girl is doing good these days . when i go in to town i grab atleast a truck load of mulch if not the trailer also if i remember to take it . with the timbren bump stops she is riding great down the road .

Very nice.

[sweetk30]

Truck is still going every day strong.

Few changes in the works . Got new stock front leads but hd option 4 leaf for the snow plow . Then rear gets the stock hangers back and the flip kit off . She is going down to about stock level now .

Got some extra 88-98 8 lug trims and caps and painted the rim's white . Then mounted some 265/75/16 lr-E Bridgestone blizzack snow tires .

Next was time to get the BIG BOY snow plow back in action again. So the 9ft FISHER was dug out . Blown apart . Old skin cut off . Blasted . New 3/16 thick skin welded on . Re-blasted to get rid of mill scale and get the paint a place to bit on .

Today was yellow paint day . Next is black parts and assembly the plow and new pins and rams .

Should be good to go this winter if we get real snow . Otherwise it was a fun rebuild and upgrade .

Going in to second cold season now for mine .

Yeppers. I try & keep up w/the both of you for updates. The uber low temps that far up North vs the desert.... one would be hard-pressed finding more different extremes

[Honest Bob]

I love this truck! Its such a work horse with so many well thought out pieces.

[sweetk30]

Thanks . .

Wait till this summer for a BIG retro change in the whole truck . There is a COOL old school part i have and its going on it .

HINT : its getting a pto on the 205 tcase .
