Welcome to the Tommy West KZread Channel. Here you find videos about cars, car repairs, general knowledge stuff that might be on my mind at this time including my Is3 swapped Chevy S-10 Blazer.
Outside is nice but whoever did you upholstery needs to be fired 😂

@stevenbelue54969 ай бұрын
Maybe old bendy would have been better, lol Were the valve covers not baffled for pcv, is that why it was sucking so much oil? I like the air filter sitting toward the front better also but I don't think I could have made myself cut my hood. Also what did you do about the MAP?
@tommywestway9 ай бұрын
@stevenbelue5496 Thanks for watching. The new Lokar valve covers are NOT vented for pvc on driver's side. I installed a catch can on the line from valve cover. Yea cutting the hood was scary but had to be done. The MAP sensor ties in to the large vacuum port at the rear of the intake manifold.

Excellent video showing the process of relocating the coil packs. I am building a LSX 427 in a 70 Camaro. Been considering putting the two separate (4) coil packs on the radiator core support brace down low, then running the spark plug wires under the headers onto the plugs with angle plug caps. The biggest factor for my project is the spark plug wiring route. I like your 4 coil mounts you made, That should work for my project.

@Patrick dubuc I was going to replace the old spindles with 2" lowered ones. I found out on KZread that the 2001 Blazer ones have better built in bearings in them and I get dual piston calipers to boot ( the old ones were single piston) best of all they bolt on with no mods needed.
