That's the thing.. I just don't give a ****. Being socially awkward has its advantages.

^^ They probably think nothing of it because "Dude, it's your car" .. I'm rather happy to see the engine coming out of it, the RIGHT way.

Hell, maybe they will check put the Blazer situation too. That will be parked when the Honda rolls. (Since, if the spark plug destroyed the engine, which I really hope it didn't when that electrode came out of the plug, ******* original plugs, that's a first, umm, then they know what to do. Just a lot more PITA, since it's a Chevy, and that makes the price of work skyrocket. Because GM made great cars, they just made them retarded.)

Come on, Pinja. I said "When the Honda rolls.." What you got for me.. Or, if not for me, for the thread.. with your rather predictable responses, at this point. As i said previous.. IDGAF. Come on in.. I'm letting you walk into it like you would a big fat *****.. do you know about that.

Tell her W95 said "HIIIIIII!" (in my loud, excited voice.)

Have a great night, you two.

That's progress. I'll take it.

I'm going to try to sleep now.

If this Y8 was good (all non-relevant tests and signs like spark plugs and visual inspection etc point to YES) then I'm gonna be a happy guy.. soon.

Dude if you ever have a serious question about Hondas, and assuming I can answer it succinctly and without going into elaborate detail, just PM me man.

This thread is ******* painful to watch, and I'd rather you get some decent advice since you seem all hell bent on this Honda thing, despite your many pitfalls and tribulations.

And since I have a feeling Ron would rather you stayed out of tech.

That's Mark's Audi. He went from praising me as the ******* G that I am (Backstreet Boys, true ZFG style) to joining up with the other crew. Or, he doesn't understand me.

Now I'm skeptical about their work because they all should've known this lol
You're dropping an OBDII motor into an OBDI vehicle.

I don't care to watch W95's vids so only basis I had was a pic he posted of some lift with his car on it and it looked sketch to me

But hey if they don't realize that an OBDII distributor won't work and they do this stuff for a living then nothing to worry about right?

^^ Above posts:

1. I know there are always things that don't exactly match up when swapping years. Had more than a few cars with the interchange, largely due to rarity, funds, and availability - you use what you can get and "make it work." So.. that said, as to what Beaver said: Yes, though if it can be made to work.. cool.

I would have amazing issue with this on my own, and I don't have the area to try, since nothing beats a good honest try.

Kind of the reverse of this:



2. I like where the dipstick is now. AS TO THE DISTRIBUTOR. My guess is.. they probably know full well what dizzy goes on what, and told me about it when they were at that stage of the process. The place has a lift and an engine chain hoist.. engine came out more readily than I ever could have, laying on the ground and using jacks..

3. I purchased a distributor a half hour ago.

4. My truck is running better too, since I pushed down the wires on ITS dizzy. Just a slight hesitation when I press the gas, but it is improved.

Not a problem, I answer all questions, it's fine.. $650.

And I could not have asked for a better result.

It has happened.. Stay tuned!
