All,
Well I got my 88 BII with the 4.0 swap running and everything working! Yeah!! I pulled it out of the garrage and drove it around quite a bit and filled it up with gas from the same place I get gas for my other BII and my truck, neither have had an issue in the last winters here. Well after spending the night outside in -30 but with block heater, batt heater, trans heater and oil pan heater she would not start this AM. Vexing as she ran fine last night and man o man is there a difference from the 2.9. Engine turns over and the lights don't dim much so I'm thinking it's not the batt. Have to check the batt too though. Did not have time this morning to check fuel pressure and such but I suspect that after sitting for bascially 2 years with minimal gas in the tank that the gunk/water in the tank got mixed up into the fuel lines and then froze overnight. Gonna try heatng the lines with my heat gun tonight and see. Otherwise it's push it out of the driveway to pull my 87 back out to drive, in 2 wheel drive and push this on back in. Bummer....
