Supernovanator's "what did I get myself into" build thread
Make sure you use some rtv black to keep it from leaking. On my LNF I just used the phenolic and black rtv, no stock gaskets.

Yeah I used permatex ultra black, put a light layer on the front and back then torqued it down. Let it sit overnight then it was good to go. I did a boost leak test and I couldnt find any leaks. Although for you supercharged guys I don't think it makes a huge difference, even with the LNF it wasnt an epic difference, it was a slower heatup of my intake mani from the engine block

IC pump has a delayed shipping date. Thank God it is that and not that the post office fucked up or stole my stuff. I wonder if that's what happened to the TC speedo cluster I was supposed to get from another member and never did. He never gave me a tracking number though...
Anyway I'm in San Antonio until Wednesday evening with my little brother so I am not in a hurry to do anything.

Yes. I have it in hand.
I don't know yet. I haven't looked at this add-a-fuse yet. I will probably just hook it to something ignition-hot.

Gonna post this because there's a whole lot of nothing going on. I got these yesterday and today. Tensioner with oversized pulley, laminova seals from ZZP, and two sets of balance shaft deletes from OTTP. (One for this car and one for a later car just in case.
) I'm hoping to button up some stuff this weekend. Hopefully I can get my intake manifold put back to gether with the ghetto DIY dual pass.
Lol
Yea so, the opening is bigger it'll push moar air!! ::Sigh:: That is a lot of time and $$ wasted, I can't afford either ATM. Back when I had my LSJ, I did port the silencer holes. Man that SC screamed

GHETTO PULLER FTW
I hooked my 3 jaw puller from Harbor Freight($20) up to my stock pulley because who cares if the stock pulley gets destroyed? I had a problem while tightening though, the whole assembly wanted to rotate with my breaker bar. So why not employ my press? I already had it sitting around for my many projects going on in the past (Spherical CABs, CABs in my '69 Nova, ball joint removal/install on '69 Nova) so why the hell not?
