Hello-

Well on friday night i rolled the car out of the garage after 6 weeks 
of downtime, moslty waiting for parts.  Primed the fuel system and 
checked for leaks, none.  Sat and stared at it for 10 minutes or more 
hoping it would start......bumped the starter and it fired right up!  
Died quickly though because i had the wrong crankcase breather hoses 
plugged.  Got those sorted out and it ran great!  It idles sooooo 
smooth and almost never misses/hesitates!  this car has never run 
like this.  I'm very happy to be rid of CIS!  

I've got one little dilema to sort out now.  I had a problem with the 
crankcase ventilation.  A hose comes up from the crankcase and ties 
into a "T" at the valve cover.  From there there used to be a hose 
that went to the low pressure side of the turbo/intake.  At first i 
didn't have this and the crankcase pressure was blowing oil out the 
dipstick...so i brazed a fitting on the intake pipe and found a hose 
at checker that will reach.  Now i have a water drip out of my air 
filter on the end of that intake pipe?!  I assume that it's just 
condensation/sweat off the metal intake pipe but is there a way to 
get rid of that?  PCV valve?  I'd like to keep moisture out of the 
intake.....it's a pretty steady drip when idling.  7-8 times per 
minute.  

I'd like to say thanks to anyone who gave me some help along the 
way.  I have to admit i was very doubtful about it working.  But it 
does work great!  

Happy holidays
