				I finally got my Opti in Monday and installed it.  It was nice to hear it start up again. But it wouldn't idle. So I changed the drivers side plugs. Still wouldn't idle so I kept it running and burnt out some of the old nast gas on the passenger side plugs. Will idle just fine. I just need to change the other side and she'll be running like a champ!! This makes me feel REALLY, REALLY GOOD. Long story short, I've been frustrated lately because my Truck. One busted heater hose fitting (right at the intake no less) and a bad water pump all in one week had me UN happy with my autos. |

				Have you had to replace the intake manifold gaskets yet?  The vortec 305 and 350's are known for leaking antifreeze that way.  Just run it with the cap off and top off as the air is purged.  Least that;s how I've done traditional chevy sb's.
