Decided to pull a stump out this afternoon....pulled the hitch off the car instead. Doh!

So now I have yet another project. I did get the stump out with the mower...so yes, the mower is stronger than the class 2 hitch.

Holiday so stay clean jobs.  I could not remember doing a calibration on the tach after final assembly and I had not...and something wasn't right.  pulled it apart, the poor needle decided it was 1 too many disassemblies and fell part, but a little glue, reposition a wire and the tach is right.  Then steering wheel back on and fully bolted so that's ready.  I need to go through the ECU programming and make sure all the new stuff I worked on is in the main program.  There has also been a ne firmware and software release so I'll get the updated so everything is current before I start systems checks.

This is getting so close Mark. I had almost forgotten how good that engine looks together.

All very excited and fingers crossed for a successful start!

And, as for beating Will, I don't think he has 14 years in it yet..

Bet of luck,

John

Spent a lot of time today fixing the car I broke with the stump but that did give me a chance to push the ferrari out and get it turned around so if it again becomes a flamethrower it will be pointing in a harmless direction. I also pulled the radiator and found about a pint of fluid hiding in it that I got cleaned out. Hoses and clamps arrived today, tomorrow morning I'll grab a battery and see if I can get this thing running.

Forgot the heater cores had to be drained,done.

How old are the tires?

20 years give or take.....I will replace them and rebuild the suspension over the winter if I have a running engine.

Installing WAYmore than my fair share of coils....its close

Not today.....throttle is not is working, finally found this bit fell off the driver board. I'll try to get it working tomorrow

Put the cap back on but that was not the issue...it was the tach pulling too much power on the 5V buss so the tach is off-line for now to the throttle is back on.

A couple other little oddities...cranking I see about 10psi oil pressure which made me happy until I notice I was also seeing about 10psi fuel pressure with the pump off and no fuel in the tank...which left me with no confidence in the oil pressure. For sure when I first added oil it pumped the tank down about 2 quarts then stabilized which I assumed mean both feed and return pumps were pumping and thought the pressure reading confirmed that. Tomorrow I will add fuel and see what fuel pressure does and maybe disconnect the oil return line to see oil flowing....just to be sure.

I need to tie up a few wires in the wheel well so I can installed the rear wheels. I need to fill the coolant. I think the question tomorrow is how eaier do I try to make noise on a Sunday morning...10am I'm thinking.
