btw, you leavign the TH fixes behind really helped, we needed something to seperate the fuel lines, and using the TH Fix we cut the end off, then cut them in half and used them to pry apart the fuel lines, once the pieces were done, we did it in a few seconds. worked perfect.

I want to thank everyone again for coming and helping with my car. Tonight it ran for its first time around 6:30. we had the positive and negative start wires (both black identical in size everything) plugged into the negative wiring. So we undid the wiring and changed the wires over. Ran the car a for a few minutes and it sucked up the 6 quarts of oil quite quickly, we ended up adding a seventh quart do to the new filter, and the super charger it used it right up. I really wish i would have drove in mikes car when he had the super charger, so I could have known the difference between his and mine. Ohh well, headers and ypipe will be coming soon enough. I just got to say David and leaf (sp?) not sure how to spell your name. Anyways when you get the time I will take you for an exciting ride in my car. Thank you guys for helping me so much. I do appeciate it so much.

I either filled the oil slightly to much, (though the dip stick isn't showing that), or getting leaks since switching to synthetic, or I didn't tighten the oil pan on to spec correctly.

Oil Pan from David $90 Nope; it was only $70. You still got off cheap; buying the S/C new would have cost you more than that just by itself. Beer: $8.00 Dude, next time, buy some real beer!  Just kidding, of course!
