Alright back to working on the blazer I got money today I fixed my kdp (killer dowel pin) and made a throttle too and took out the cheap plastic ball junk that a first gen comes with and ran all hime joints it worked out good for me to cause it gave me the right throw for the stock throttle cable also I dropped the fuel tank made a draw straw with some fittings 1/2"ha ha very easy to make and I will get the tank back in tomorrow I also fixed my shifter as mine was broke and I was missing parts but my best part of my day was to get her started as I have never heard this motor and I have had it for almost a year now waiting for all this project to happen oh and I started making my down pipe 5" from the flange back but so far just the start of my down pipe for now I will put up some pics in a few
