I don't know why the images rotate when I upload them. I bought a belt wrap kit from smoothflow pulleys aka Nathan Herbst. as it would turn out, the 3.8 liter engine has different spacing than an LS engine so the pulley that is missing wouldn't work. I took it off and sent it back and now I'm waiting on a different pulley with the right offset. I hated the job I did on the battery movement so I bought some good cable and redid it and also added an extra battery. I wanted to add some weight to the back and also have a little more power for starts and for the increased load from the electric power steering pump. the new belt wrap pulley is predicted to be here Saturday. I ran out of E85 so I'm running it on 91.
I don't know why but when I filled the tank with 91 octane it had a bunch of backfires. I could also smell hot oil. the oil change is like 100 miles old and the oil level is correct. I don't know why.
