I buttoned up the engine with a new Jake solenoid. All four click but I need to figure out what or how they are signaled to work with the throttle. I spoke to Leo at AAA and he thinks it has to be connected to the DDEC somehow. I pulled my DDEC scanner and found a setting for engine brake with the N/A next to it. I can't enable it however. Cliff on BCM says that DDECII doesn't support jakes and that there should be a module somewhere. I can't find it. Wiring is good from solenoids to relay at front kick panel. I just need to do an oil change and fire it up. Hopefully I gained another 100hp from the leaking exhaust manifolds      As a tip on removing studs, I welded a nut onto the manifold studs and used my impact gun to remove them. I try not to reuse studs due to unknown stresses from previous repairs/torquing. Aside from that, I prefer a clean installation and resealed threads. New hardware is just my thing.
Marie was happy I didn't send this work to a shop.
