I've got a ported throttle body I want to install and if someone would be nice enough to check my timing, 5th and 6th ports (the only time I'll actually let someone else drive my car ), and maybe do some generic tuning I'll be eternally grateful.

A tech day sounds like a good idea. Let me know if you need me to bring any tools. I will also need directions.

If i can somehow get outta working on May 1st, i need get under my car and replace my pinion seal, since my rear differential is leaking pretty badly, {i take advantage of jiffy lube's top off service}, and it would be nice to have an extra hand, and experiance around so I know how to do it properly, if it means anything i have my Haynes manual for my car.

D'oh! Sorry about the double post earlier, something was acting funky. And to make this post semi-useful, I say burgers.

Mark Head East on I-90 and go approx 271 miles sure could use you right about now. Need you for your favorite job again...."Heater Core", or tear apart dash job. We be leaking again.

Hope you guys have a great Tech day. I remember your last tech day Kettlman. I had just bought a glass sunroof for blue. Took your "best friend" to the Auto store to come back to a rigged up shattered sunroof. I almost had a heart attack.

Im thinking a hose came loose or cracked or something. Tearing the dash apart is not a task one wishes to do. At least yes there is plenty of time before next fall to get it done.

Well if I get my car back and its running decently....I hope to have the S-5 TB to install on the TII, much better than the stupid S-4 switch mode crapola!!
But I find out today if this guy can actually get his **** together and finish the basic tuning to my Wolf 3D. Fouling plugs every time I cold start is not tuning in my book
