Todd, just noticed the new signature w/complimentary car surname. 
How did this evolve?

I stole it from Bill Ruttger. He claimed it for his car but I knew he would never actually use it in print so I did. It was too good not to use.Nebraska_e28 wrote:Todd, just noticed the new signature w/complimentary car surname.

Worked for a few hours tonight. Ran the battery cable to the fuse box and connected the fuse box and alternator. Also ran power to a distribution block.
Also ran the power cable to the starter, Installed the LC1 and hooked up the reverse lights. At this point I think i am finished underneath the car.
Going to work on it some more this weekend.

Numbering all the wiring so I do not have to think when I solder it all.
Doing the coils and injectors tomorrow and possibly the main harness. Hoping to lay it out in the car mid week when it warms up.

Didn't happen. Using a torpedo propane heater.Duke wrote:How did your wood burning stove install in the garage go?T_C_D wrote:Hoping to lay it out in the car mid week when it warms up.

I have one of those....it is loud and stinks.T_C_D wrote:Didn't happen. Using a torpedo propane heater.

But effective... I had a non insulated two car garage that would end up 30 degrees warmer after about an hour or so... Not bad.Duke wrote:I have one of those....it is loud and stinks.T_C_D wrote:Didn't happen. Using a torpedo propane heater.

I have most of the main connector sorted out. Will work on the inj and coil harness early this week.
This isn't an easy job for a mildly color blind and far sighted guy.

It's time to go out to the garage and get to it.

Looking good Todd! I can't wait to see this beast running at the vintage!

Spent about 7hrs yesterday working on the car. Labeled every sensor in the engine bay and did some other wiring. I know the picture looks the same but there is progress!

MS3 has highly capable testing software so I will be doing the following before the "first start":Duke wrote:T_C_D wrote:Sure.Duke wrote:VIDEO of first start.
Test all sensor inputs by turning the engine over and datalogging with fuel off.
Testing each coil and injector individually.
I should be able to adjust fuel pressure prior to running the car by looking at the fuel pressure sensor transducer prior to start as well.

You're using an adjustable regulator instead of a plain traditional one?T_C_D wrote:I should be able to adjust fuel pressure prior to running the car by looking at the fuel pressure sensor transducer prior to start as well.
