i need to know!
ok i put the new module in my new distributor and the car started up great, then i timed it and it sounds good. now i am going to start trying to drive this car around and i need a checklist for my car so i can make sure it is good to go. EVERYTHING on the inside is new, including the springs, distributor, wires, rotor and cap... Water pump, oil pump and shaft, injectors and throttle body along with the EGR backplate, and all sensors. Many things are new i think the only stock think that is left is the upper and lower intake that is polished and ported and the ignition coil..... any avdive on how long to drive it for and what to do to break it in?? THANKS!

If it's brand new, you need to seat the rings right away. After that, take it relatively easy for 100 miles or so, just in case something decides to come loose. Don't do any freeway driving (sustained rpms for a prolonged period of time) for the first 500 miles. Change the oil and filter at 50 miles, 500 miles, and 1000 miles. Other than that, have fun!
Take care, ~Chris
