ok so got the brakelines installed and bled last night and everything else was done so i tried to start the car for the first time. needless to say i couldnt get it to start, it would crank and crank, then backfire through the intake and make a grinding noise when it backfires, which tells me that it is out of time, not really sure what the grinding noise it htough. i am going to check the plug wire routing tonight (which i am 95% sure it is right) to make double sure it is right and take a look at the starter while i am under there. but i am thinking that when i put the opti in, i might have put it in 180 degrees out. is there any way to check this without tearing apart the front of the motor?

started the car for the first time saturday! chased down the problem and found i had no spark, so i pulled the opti off and found some moisture and corrosion inside so i bought an MSD vented opti and a delco coil (had an MSD coil on it before that the PO put on) and put them in. hit the key and it fired right up! wouldnt stay running unless i held the gas (new TB idle stop hasnt been adjusted), but i was able to drive it out under its own power into the driveway. didnt have time to mess with it too much saturday, do going to mess with the idle screw and get the motor broken in tonight. i snapped some pictures, pardon the dust since this is the first time it has been out of the barn in 2 years and i havent gotten a chance to clean it or even put the hood on. going to lower it another half inch or so as well, enjoy!

Supporting MemberLooks good man, but don't trust that msd opti as far as you can throw it. I love that blue with the welds

thanks guys! tubby- have you had issues with the MSD unit? i was depating whether to go with a delco unit or the MSD. i didnt hear anything bad about the MSD when i was comparing the two, plus my car didnt have any of the vent tubing and i saw that the MSD unit came with the tubing i needed. i got the idle figured out, i guess i forgot to plug the hole on the front of the intake under the TB and that is what was causing my idle problems. so now the car runs and idles perfectly, gonna break it in tonight when i get out of work

Supporting MemberYes, tons of issues, to the point that after 3 rebuilds on it in 4 months from them I sold it to someone for the cost of shipping and bought an unvented delco, no issues since from what the new owner said. Remember, stock unvented optis still went 100k before failing, my msd failed 3 times after 10 minutes of running.

got the alignment friday and drove it all weekend. car runs good and handles like it is on rails. still have to do some minor adjusting to the coilovers to get the ride perfect and also lower it a bit more. it is really fun on the street, not really beating on it yet though. i am hoping to be able to drive it some more before it snows and i put it away for the winter, but so happy it is running and driving! snapped a picture while i was out cruising sat night, i plan on removing the pin stripe and the door moldings too
