progress??(no snow please! not yet..)
i finally got my b&b header(86 951-had it for three months drove for two weeks!) it took them 2 months to get it to me. i did that,cambox seals, fuel inj. seals(you have to remember that!)plugs,magnacore wires,cap,rotor,etc.....started it up and it had a dead miss. checked spark-good.checked fuel spray-good. to make a long miserable story short, i found a bent valve, broken boost control unit, and a few broken rubber lines. im getting the parts this week, hopefully i can put my baby together again this week. i think im going to miss all the boost i was getting!! just had to share my story with the people who can share the pain.indsey racing is a cool company to deal with, they were extremely helpful and took time to explain what i needed. i got the manual boost controller-although i want the dual stage controller/wastegate. they

Had the timing off from when you put the cam tower back on?

the cam was in the wrong position when my mechanic bolted it on and torqued it down. i was under the car putting the bolts in the header,and didnt see it. i was told about it later. he realized his mistake before finishing the bolts, and reset the position. it was tight enough to bend the #1 intake valve,however. it was in the proper position when we started the motor, too late. oh well, time for that 5 angle valve job....
