The oil filter isn't K&N , the oil filter is M1
The air filter is K&N -- I just wanna be able to reuse it, rather than spend 35$ a year on filter
Oil is valvoline full synthetic
And belts are Gates. (ill have pics of belts that were taken off.. they were GM)
I did NOT do wires. The plugs didn't looks bad at all to make me wonder.
I also ran a can of BG44k with 3/4 gas in tank.
*****Currently *** at Classic Chevrolet dealership getting the tranny flush done**
Thank you alll for your help. This is a really helpful board.

in2pro was referring to the K&N air filter that does require oil on the cotton filter media. Requires a kit that you buy separately. Over-oiling can coke the MAF.

IIRC, Gates is one of GM's vendors. At least they were back in the day.

Yea, the engine was warmed up, I didn't see any readings that were totally out of line.
Not sure just how that Synthetic Oil is set up on viscosity, but I'm still not too worried about the Idle pressure.
