Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

So my next question: tune. I'm considering getting a mail-order tune (probably pcmforless.com), if nothing else for a decent baseline. When I looked for stuff before, it was really tough to find anyone who still does LT1s, and the people I did find were like an hour away. So I'd get a mail-order tune, use that probably for this season, then maybe get a street tune a bit later down the road. Thoughts?

I'm concerned that my car won't even be driveable with the stock tune, so I would have to get it towed all the way up there. Not to mention I really don't want to drive that thing in the snow/salt.

Well I don't plan on driving the car until spring, but I'd like to keep it somewhere else once it's fully reassembled (i.e., somewhere I can keep it indoors). I'll also need to get my exhaust welded back up (since we had to cut it to take the thing apart).

Steve can do a baseline tune. If you're planning on eventually getting a street tune, personally I wouldn't waste the money getting a mail order tune. It's just doubling the cost.
it isn't a new converter, I got it from [MENTION=1504]mcalus[/MENTION] after he did his 6-speed swap. I assume he drained it, though (Mike, correct me if I'm wrong).

So I tried firing it up today. I can hear the fuel pump prime, and there is a loud "click," which I believe is the starter, but no crank. I know that there's any one of a thousand things that can be wrong the first time you try to start it once it's back together, but I have no idea where to start. Thoughts?
