So it's funny how a $10 part can ruin the drivability of a car. I got my o2 set wired and running yesterday. Drove home from my friends house(15 mi), got to my and rejetted according to what I saw on my gauge. I went down on the primaries and backed the vac advance off a few turns.
She was running superb, the secondaries were a hair rich. Got a few miles from work and started smelling coolant. Kept moving got it to work and parked, opened the hood and the fan belt had come off, not broke. Came back out to the car at break put the belt back on and started it. Well if you have ever heard bolts in a coffee can, ya it was like that but intermittent. The list of things I thought of ranged from pump impeller to oil pick up falling off.
I ended up getting a free tow from a buddy w AAA. Got home and did my autopsy, come to find out it was a $10 part, the F#*&ing flex plate to crank bolts came loose. The flex plate holes are now slotted so I'll be getting a new one for $10.
The good part is that now I can rebuild the trani since it will be out and I've had the kit for a month or so. I was waiting to get my head back and do it all at once(head, cam, reseal motor and trani). I guess I will be starting sooner that planned.
