    Engine start-up, Lean code 44

    Running the truck on it's 2nd break-in. Running between 2500-3000rpm. Getting code 44 (lean exhaust). I assume I need to increase fuel psi at regulator. I haven't set idle timing yet, I was going to get her broke in 1st? I thought my Maddox gauge said 14psi at location just past fuel filter...

    454, 1987, lower oil dipstick Bolt

    Bolt at the block is missing, and haven't figured out. Google AI says 1/2" - 13, but no. The power steering Bolt on front of water pump is that size. Definitely seems 1/2", but finer thread. Could be 1/2" - 14 npt, but that is pipe thread? 1/2" - 20? Seems to fine, but clearly I don't know...

    Distributor will hit edelbrock 3764 intake

    The distributor will hit the mounting post for the coil, as this post sits higher. New distributor is same height as old. I might have 3/8-1/2" if we have to advance distributor timing. Anyone run into with this intake?

    454 ACDelco water pump

    Edelbrock 3764 intake - TBI upgrade

    I was looking at upgrading to this from stock iron I take. Concern: It doesn't have the input for the power booster vacuum. The TBI has a port that goes down into the adapter plate and booster connects at adapter plate. The 3764 doesn't seem to have that.
