I got a little done on it. I got the wiring for the alternator completed, finally got my 90* fitting for the rail and finished the fuel system, wired the cooling fans, mounted my meth pump, mounted my meth controller, started wiring the bump box as well. I did have to cut the hanger for my glove box and made a custom stop out of a piece of wire haha!
I found out I need to adjust the ladder bars, they will not allow the driveshaft to bolt up to the rear. I also found out that my shifter cable is too short and I'm unable to loop it to allow for smooth operation. I'm waiting on some tubing to get here so I can fab up my shifter mount. Not too much longer! http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...psw1tdwzdj.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...ps0phpxjqo.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...pscswe0l7n.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...psrxn5ah8v.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...psleydoppm.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...ps0lrfouit.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...pszrjhrzrd.jpg |
I got it running this past Friday as planned. I had a couple mishaps along the way that day though. The feed line at the discharge of the pump was leaking badly, but didn't show its ugly face until the pump was started. Trans line on the bottom cooler line is leaking. Well it's the 1/2npt to 6an fitting. The fuel pressure gauge that sends to the Holley doesn't match my new mechanical gauge. I've tried all different offsets, and no luck. Oil pressure was pegged. So I went and got a new sensor from autozone and it's good now. Idles at 46psi. I've ordered a new fitting and sensor, so I should have them shortly.
All the lights, boost controller, efi, compressor, intercooler pump, and meth kit all work correctly though! |
I haven't got much time to work on the car due to taking some online classes along with working. However I did get some work done. Today I repaired the rust on the lower drivers side cowl.
I got the following installed: -Passengers/drivers door glass -Passengers/drivers quarter glass -Throttle cable -Pedal -Fenders -Grill trim -Shifter http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...psygy9yc1s.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...psjmeh1lx4.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...pszm8wmme5.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...pspcyd31gg.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...pspaqdaqqe.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...psl5flikzt.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...psgvkentxm.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...psjhckweff.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...ps9zuh1foq.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...psx3d6j0nu.jpg |

I'm pretty sure I'm going to break down and just buy new quarters, roof, trunk, and fenders. Body work will be way less and it will be right.
Here's an idle video http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...pswdynatcn.jpg |
Any updates on car?
