    CMP Retard New Motor 99 k1500 Suburban

    Yea i took a screwdriver and taped a large socket on to it kinda like what the bottom of the distributor looks like i lost my mind trying to figure it out and get it right. I'll try again later but I'm really hesitant to open it up again cause I usually lose track of which way the pump needs...

    CMP Retard New Motor 99 k1500 Suburban

    I just spent 4 hours battling the timing on this thing. The best I can get is 5 the problem is I can't hit #1 with the rotor it either goes 1/4" to one side or the other on the #1 I've never had this problem before

    Pacesetter header and y pipe off

    I can barely get to the middle plugs it is a total pain. On the passenger side the last pipe rubs the firewall I was gonna try and get a crowbar in there to put a dent in it. not the best fit but I have the air injection so selection was limited surprisingly no leaks on the initial few runs...
