Replaced the ballast resistor with one from MSD to "match" my MSD ignition coil.
Replaced the radiator cap.
-Tested for vacuum
-Adjusted idle screw
-Checked spark plugs
-Removed dash
-Got into the passenger door and started removing the drop glass & testing regulator wiring.
Intalled Cruise Control!
I spent most of Friday doing all the wiring and planning how to set up the brackets, and today I finished up the control unit bracket, speed sensor bracket, and throttle cable bracket.
Then I took my Fiance out to Fuddruckers in it. Every time someone stared, I told her they were looking at her, not the car.
The engine is put back together. I officially hate the intake manifold- can't get a clean shot with the torque wretch on 2 of the main bolts...geez, what a chore. There has to be a better one out there.
At least the coolant leak is no more, new seals all around, the VOD clean and new cap & rotor. Now, I have to watch for fuel links. Had to torque down two fuel lines as they got moist during the first start up test.
Outside of that, everything seems to be ok.
Took it to the shop to have some upgrades done:
-SS Fuel lines (black sheathing)
-Replace brake master cylinder (again)
-New rotors and pads
-New throttle cable and sheathing
Cleaned the drain hole under the windscreen. :thumbup:
Now I know why I had water coming into the cabin!!
Fired 20069 up and yes she turned over after a complete re-build.
All sensors appear to be working but the water temp.
Should I go and replace it?
