Default it FINALLY runs...
at long last, my demonically posessed vette fired up 2 days ago.

i let it run for a couple of minutes over the last few days, and today i tapped the gas, and it shot up to like 5700 rpm's without even thinking about it!!! good lord.. lt-4 hot cam and lt-1 manifold conversion really made a difference! my TPI would never , ever rev that fast i hope i didnt hurt anything!

thanks to all the forum members for the tech advice, it's much appreciated!
