Freakin awesome build... Thanks for sharing all of your progress. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Looking at your last pic brings up a suggestion I have used on both my 93T's. Instead of the chintzy plastic clip for the hood hold up rod, put a small piece of velcro in the appropriate place. Never rattles, never wears out. And you do not have to lean on a piece of plastic if your are under the hood.

thanks

and wsquaredodie , the 79-83's actually have a metal screw on , prop rod hold down .. low profile , much nicer (in my opinion) then the plastic ones that always break .

Sounds like a good idea - but laying your big belly on velcro is much better......... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I wasnt going to , but I decided to finish wiring the fan .. and hook up the cooling system .. The last things I had to do , for a running unit .

I have had many times when I have done wiring (not my favorite thing) thought I had it all good .. taped and loomed only to have to take it all apart again because of some stupid mistake .

so this is why I wanted to get it running perfectly before I took it apart for the last time ,and , taped and loomed it all up .. I'm glad I did .

Today I finished the plumbing .. all clamped .. also buttened up the fan wiring . filled er' up with some coolant and flashed her up ..

I have 4 problems ...

1. the temp guage went to hot "right off the bat" wiring issue maybe .. not sure just yet .
2. amp meter dosnt work ..
3. check engine lamp - checked with my OBll reader , and have only 1 code
4. since I put on the supercharger , its running rough and really low idle ~600RPM , I think I have a vaccuum leak maybe .


I wasnt able to look into any of these just yet , but obviously will !!

Might want to verify god ground on the electrics

I will ... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

so wee bit of progress today ... had an hour , so I was able to figure the temp sensor .. IT works now . you were right , I had unsuspectantly removed the ground wire from the combi. meter connector .

check engine lamp is still on , but now I can run it .. and did so today ..
found it running rich and I still have air temp control code .. which I believe now is the IAC valve .. iratic idle and rich .. hopefully I can check that out tomorrow .

and still have the AMP meter not working ! and that is it .

Amp meter only works if the circuit is complete. Look for a bad connection somewhere

SO wait, do you have an ampmeter, or a voltmeter? An ampmeter has to be hooked up inline in the positive battery cable (in series).
Voltmeter would be an easy hook up...
