Just thought I'd update you on my quest. Got everything back together. Worked on it from 9am to 1am yesterday. Have a slight fuel leak from the big line that bolts to the bottom of the upper intake. It's a 19mm bolt. My timing is a little bit off, but now I have some good pictures to get it lined up. Also, my #2 spark plug is a few threads short of threading all the way into the head. I don't get it. The threads are good, they're clean. So the truck runs, like crap. at 475ish rpm. Once I get her timed right she should smooth out and the rpms should come up. If not.. hell I don't know.

I'm an entry level mech. I have experience with Chevy 350 small blocks and 400 big blocks. Love my YOTA!
