    For sure it helped a lot. It was in my new Deutsch connector tool kit and just happened to fit.

    Just went through this WHOLE thread for the first time. Wow! Awesome stuff. I look forward to the day when I have a second car so I can take some time and refurbish my car like you've done yours.

    I was just saying that to him!! I would love to come up. Are you guys doing any Tech Days soon-ish? There is another local owner here that I am sure would want to join!

    Yeah Ryan, Im planning on hosting a big tech day at my place this season, pulling my engine or something. I will post up when it gets closer.


    After many years I finally got my Delorean back onto a chassis Dyno, Kinda disapointing what the WHP is, this is a different brand dyno and yeah alot has happened in the 4 years since I dynoed before. This is a Dynocom 5000 dyno, Just compared a BMW I built at work on this dyno vs a known accurate Dynojet that it ran the day before. This dyno was about 7% lower than the DynoJet readings.

    The Mustang Dyno that I ran my D on years ago gave a best of 114hp/ 145tq
    The Dynocom gave a best of 105hp/ 156 tq
    With the 7% correction a dyno jet "should" put out 112hp/ 167 tq

    No idea where all this extra torque came from.

    Those are better than stock numbers. What mods have you done? Apologies if you stated that already in the thread.

    Loved the read

    It was a cold, rainy day here in SLC, UT today. And I have been looking for inspiration to start on VIN 2193. This thread did it, I believe. Spent a couple of hours reading through the pages. Great work. And that car is so much better off these days. Congratulations.
    VIN: 2193

    Texas car that was brought to a ranch near Elko, NV, where it baked in the sun for more than a decade. Interior shot. Now resting in our driveway in SLC, UT. Needs a lot of work. Just need to find the time now.

    Ive done quite little, MSD Coil, cold air intake, and bumped the timing up 3 degrees, also did a bit of port matching on the exhaust manifolds But mostly I think its just a solid motor, Some of the other local owners have driven it and agree it feels peppier than theirs.
